The answer is NO. In the 325th Fighter Group, 15th Air Force, we had a Native American Fighter Pilot named Hiawatha Mohawk. He flew in both the P-47 and the P-51 and had one victory in each of these aircraft. His aircraft group number was 79. I agree. There was also Major Richard Pierre Hogner. See: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Hogner&GScid=2154090&GRid=13606801& Can anyone give me more information about him - he was my wife´s second cousin and I am very interested in ancestry and would like to fill in this gap.

He was NOT the youngest fighter pilot. My Uncle, Paul Coari, was the youngest fighter pilot in World War II. But - I guess since Bush was the president - people think it's okay that he claims to be the youngest fighter pilot, even though he was not.
It depends on the hat.
