Three of the 4th FGâs top four aces (according to the contemporary Eighth Air Force practice of counting strafing kills - the missing pilot is Ralph Hofer) engaging in a staged game of poker for photographers from Illustrated magazine. They are, from left to right, Capts Duane Beeson and Don Gentile and Maj James Goodson. These three pilots claimed 20.5 aerial victories between them in March 1944 (National Museum of the USAF)

Not many pilot scored a confirmed aerial victory on their first combat mission but F/O Ralph K. Hofer did just that on 8 October 1943. In this photo from the book âKidd HoferâThe last of the Screwball Acesâ, Hofer strikes a jaunty pose in the cockpit of âSusan IIIâ. Hofer was killed in spectacular fashion on 2 July 1944. By that time he had amassed 15 air and 14 ground victories and was the top scoring ace in the 4th FG.
