Zenneth Pond became a World War II Marine Corps ACE, credited with
shooting down SIX enemy aircraft in aerial combat before he was himself
shot down and listed as Missing in Action on September 10, 1942. He is
often listed as Kenneth (as opposed to Zenneth) Pond, and in fact, his
Navy Cross citation miss-spells his name as Kenneth.
