Foss’s final combat would come after he’d survived a bout of malaria. He led a relatively small group of American planes against a much larger formation of Japanese bombers & fighter planes.
Wow! Joseph Foss was certainly a determined man. 26 confirmed kills of Japanese airplanes, Commissioner of the American Football League, head of the NRA, Governor of rhe state of South Dakota and a MOH awardee. I didn't know of many of his accomplishments. Thank you Tara, I love learning of these great American Heroes.
