The Unauthorized History of the Pacific War

The Ace Race 1944-45 with John Bruning - Episode 413


Listen Later

This week Seth and Bill welcome back good friend John Bruning to wrap up the discussion on the great Ace Race in the Pacific during World War II. The trio gets into a discussion on one of the fieriest leaders of the Pacific theater, P-47 Thunderbolt ace, Neel Kearby, and his 348th Fighter Group. n The guys break down Kearby's "freelancing" fighter missions and the incredible risks he took all to get that brass ring title of Ace of Aces. After that, the team sets out to blow apart the myth of Charles Lindbergh and his so-called "contributions" to the air war. The guys really get into the dirt and settle, once and for all, the myths surrounding the Lone Eagle's supposed Pacific tour. Finally, the team gets into the final days of P-38 Ace and aerial legend, Tommy McGuire and how the great ace met his untimely end, thus ending the great ace race of the Pacific theater.
