Most famous for his pursuit of an enemy plane under the Eiffel Tower (would later become a kill), Bill passed away yesterday.

He gives a brief story of the Eiffel Tower incident on the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends DVD.

RIP sir.

Rest in peace sir.


That photo reminded me this video of a bonanza pilot flying through the tower.
