Billy Edens was assigned to fly the P-47 Thunderbolt in World War II with the 62nd Fighter Squadron of the famous 56th Figther Group at Royal Air Force Station Boxted, England. Edens made an immediate impression on the famed group as a result of his aggressiveness and natural ability, despite his relative inexperience. He became one of the few Second Lieutenants to become an “ace”, achieving the feet in only one month. Between 8 June and 7 July 1944, he achieved seven aerial victories. In addition to Edens’ aerial victories, he demonstrated an amazing determination to survive. In total, four of Edens aircraft were destroyed during World War II.
