A hero's action is always extraordinary because it is so contrary to the basic human instincts of self-preservation and survival. For the fighter ace, it is often "kill or be killed”. The men whose images and stories are told in Wings of Valorreflect the courage and determination it takes to get no less than five "kills” in aerial combat and return from each mission alive.
