摘要

On Memorial Day weekend, Lt. Col. B. D. "Buzz" Wagner Chapter members dedicated a replica P-40 aircraft like the one flown by the chapter's namesake during World War Ⅱ. It was the latest project the chapter has completed to commemorate Boyd D. Wagner, a native of the area who became the AAF's first ace of World War Ⅱ in the Philippines on Dec. 16, 1941. Wagner flew P-40 Warhawks and died in one during a training flight in Florida the following year. Because he wasn't on the expected flight path, it took weeks to recover most of his remains.
