Brigadier General Tex Hill: World War II Triple Ace Pilot And Flying Tigers Hero.
Raised in Texas and a graduate of Austin College, Naval Aviator David “Tex” Hill resigned his commission in 1941 to become a member of the American Volunteer Group, known as the “Flying Tigers.” The Flying Tigers were American pilots who volunteered to fly for the Chinese against Japan prior to the United States' entry in World War II. A top ace, Hill was credited with destroying 10 ¼ Japanese planes while with the AVG. After the United States joined the war, Hill received a commission in the Army Air Force where he ultimately commanded the 23rd Fighter Group. There he claimed eight more victories, giving him a total of 18 ¼ victories during World War II. After he left active service, Hill accepted command of the 136th Fighter Group of the Texas Air National Guard in 1946 and became the youngest Brigadier General in the history of the Guard.
He was born in Gwangju, Korea (then under Japanese rule), the youngest of four children of Presbyterian missionaries. The family returned to the United States when he was 15 months old. They eventually settled in San Antonio, Texas, where his father was the minister of the First Presbyterian Church.
"Tex" graduated from San Antonio Academy, San Antonio, Texas, in 1928 and from McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1934. While attending McCallie, he won the Tennessee Middleweight Championship in boxing in 1934. Tex then attended Texas A&M for two years before transferring to Austin College, from which he graduated in 1938. He was also a founding member of the Phi Sigma Alpha fraternity in 1932.
Hill's first flight occurred at Winburn Field when Marion P. Hair took Tex and a friend up in his Travel Air 4000. The boys had snuck out of church one Sunday and paid for the flight with their collection money.
In 1999, Hill was inducted into the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame located at the Lone Star Flight Museum in Houston, Texas. He was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 2006.
In 2002, he was conveyed an honorary lifetime membership in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) with a squadron of the CAP named in his honor—the Tex Hill Composite Squadron, of San Marcos, TX (SWR-TX-435). This squadron went on to become the third largest CAP squadron in the nation and in 2003 became the most decorated CAP squadron in the nation receiving the Texas Squadron of Merit, Texas Emergency Services Squadron of the Year, Regional (SW Region of the USA) Squadron of Distinction, and National Squadron of Distinction.
Hill died at the age of ninety-two on October 11, 2007, in Terrell Hills, Texas, of congestive heart failure. More than 2,000 people attended his funeral. He was buried at nearby Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.
On November 2, 2007, the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg observed "Tex" Hill Day with speeches, patriotic music, and friends' memories of the fallen hero.
On November 2, 2008, the Air Force Heritage Flight at the Lackland AFB Air Show in San Antonio was dedicated to Hill. It consisted of an F-22, an F-15E, an F-16C, and a P-40 like the one Hill flew with the AVG.
Middle School 14 in San Antonio was named "Hill Middle School" after him in June 2013.

The Real Masters Of The Air. Listen to the stories of WW2 veterans.
John "Lucky" Luckadoo was a copilot with the newly formed 100th bomb group. Lucky flew a fateful mission to Bremen, Germany, that contributed to their notorious name. "Morale was low. Numerous replacements were made, earning us the title of the "Bloody Hundredth." Among all the groups, we were known to have the lowest survival rate in the Eighth Air Force." Lucky flew with the "Bloody Hundredth" throughout the rest of 1943 and finished his 25-mission tour of duty in February 1944. Out of 40 original pilots in the 100th Bomb Group, he was one of only four to finish their tours of duty. The collection of missions, actions, and personalities created a synergy making the 100th Bomb Group one of the most storied units of World War II.
Perhaps no other mission cemented the reputation of the 100th more than the Munster raid of October 10. While en route to the target, the Group experienced the most violent Luftwaffe attacks yet seen as bombers took hits from both flak and fighters. As the formation made its way to the initial point (IP), planes of the 100th were downed one by one. With the Group’s losses over Munster, the 100th was now firmly labeled a jinxed unit.
Of all the 8th Air Force Bomb Groups to fly from England in World War Two, the 100th BG gained a reputation as a ‘hard luck outfit’ for its heavy casualties. Despite the batterings it took on numerous missions, the group remained operational and struck Germany hard. Bob Archer tells the story of the ‘Bloody Hundredth’.
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941, there were just 155 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses in service. The raid immediately brought the US into the world war and production orders for the B-17, along with a host of other combat aircraft, skyrocketed. To maintain the massive output required, Boeing established additional B-17 production lines with Douglas Aircraft at Long Beach, California, and Lockheed Vega at Burbank, California. A grand total of 12,731 B-17s was built by May 1945 in these plants and at Boeing’s own Seattle factory.
Thousands of ‘Forts’, as the B-17 was colloquially known, were delivered to the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) in Europe. Just a few weeks into 1942, hard on the heels of the Japanese attack, the VIII Bomber Command was established in readiness to coordinate activities against Nazi Germany (it was redesignated as the better-known 8th Air Force in February 1944). The command’s headquarters soon relocated to the UK to begin the preparations necessary to take the fight to the enemy across the English Channel. An armada of weapons, personnel, and everything necessary for this gargantuan organization to function effectively was speedily shipped across the Atlantic. After disembarking at British ports, airmen then traveled by train and truck to their designated base.
New airfields were rapidly carved out of the English countryside, each with the necessary hangars, hardstandings, bomb dumps, fuel farms, barracks, and support infrastructure. These facilities were constructed every few miles across the flat landscape of East Anglia and more than 100 were eventually built. Some had fighter aircraft stationed, while others were prepared for the heavy bomber units, which were in training in the USA prior to making their way to Europe. About half of the 40 UK-based groups flew the Consolidated B-24 Liberator, while others operated the B-17. Each base housed an individual bombardment group, with either three or four squadrons assigned. During the summer of 1942, as construction was completed, the streams of bombers began flying across the Atlantic via several refueling stops before finally settling down onto the freshly laid runways of their new airfields.
