David Lee "Tex"
Hill
David Lee “Tex” Hill was
recruited to the American Volunteer Group,
the group known as the Flying Tigers, in 1941. Under the leadership of
General Claire Chennault, Hill was one of the top aces in the unit. After
the deactivation of the Flying Tigers, Hill went on to fight with the 23rd
Fighter Group, as well as the 75th Fighter Group. Throughout
his career, he destroyed 18 plus enemy aircraft, one of them being the
first Zero shot down by a P-51. He continued to fight through the end of
WWII and in 1946, he joined the Air National Guard as the youngest
Brigadier General in the service’s history.
