A GATHERING OF LEGENDS - BILL CREECH

It is said that Colonel Bill Creech can tell a powerful tale, a skill that materializes in his book based on his war experience entitled, The 3rd Greatest Fight Pilot. After reading through Bill Creech’s risky missions, and acts of survival and heroism, a reader can wage the book would be a difficult one to put down.

Bill Creech was a Depression-era boy who entered World War II enticed by the excitement of flight. He entered as a fighter pilot in the United States Army Air Corps, and left a man with heroic stories to be published in his memoir.

In 1942, Bill Creech joined the United States Army Air Force, and in China, India, and Burma, he flew P-51As and P-51Bs in combat. He was also a member of the Fighter Squadron, 528th Dragonflys, which received the Presidential Unit Citation for Extraordinary Heroism for their actions in the Burma Offensive. Serving in the brutal jungles of Burma, Colonel Creech flew sixty missions against Japanese military targets as a Dragonfly.

Colonel Creech was shot down twice, and was forced to survive in the jungle as well as a pre-communist era in feudal Chinese territories.

After his narrow escapes from the war, Creech continued serving in the brand new jet Air Force of the Korean War era and carried on as Squadron Commander of F-100, “Super Sabre fighter Bombers over Vietnam.”

Colonel Creech has been heavily awarded, as anyone living such a hero’s life should be, and after retiring from the Air Force, he continued flying, and is a licensed Airframe and Power plant Mechanic.
