No, it the museum is about Bong, not bongs. In all seriousness, the top US ace in World War II was Major Richard I. Bong, who shot down 40 Japanese planes. Bong was killed in a flight test accident shortly before the end of the war.
In northern Wisconsin, there's a Richard I. Bong WWII Heritage Center, and the director of the museum is leaving her post.
In southeastern Wisconsin, there's a Bong Recreation Area, as signs on Interstate 94--those that haven't been stolen, that is--point out. Like the museum, the recreation area is named for Major Bong.
