Today we're talking about another badass in the sky, but not a pilot. Ben Kuroki overcame a shit ton of prejudice to get into the US military during World War 2 right after Pearl Harbor, AKA the peak of Japanese hate. But just joining wasn't enough for ol' Ben, he wanted to shoot the fuck outta some sky Nazis so he became a tail gunner. But even that wasn't enough, because he wanted to go fight the Japs too. After taking a short break to go on a Captain America tour because he was a goddamn war hero. This dude was dope, enjoy!
