Hill earned his wings as a U.S. Naval Aviator in 1939 and joined the fleet as a Devastator torpedo bomber pilot before joining a Dauntless dive bomber squadron aboard USS Ranger. In 1941, he was recruited with other Navy, Army and Marine Corps pilots to join the 1st "American Volunteer Group" later to be called the "FLYING TIGERS" . He learned to fly the P-40 in the "A.V.G." training program in Burma, and did well as a fighter pilot in the 2nd Pursuit Squadron [Panda Bears] as a flight leader and then squadron commander, becoming one of the top fighter pilot aces of World War 2. . Hill landed his first Japanese air craft "kills" on January 3, 1942 when he downed two "Nates" over the Japanese airfield at Tak, Thailand. He shot down two more on January 23, and became an ace pilot on the 24th when he shot down a fighter and a bomber over Rangoon. . In March, he was made Squadron Leader of the Second Squadron. By the time the "A.V.G." was disbanded in the summer of 1942, Hill was a double ace, credited with 12 ¼ victories. . *** On May 7, 1942, the Japanese Army began building a pontoon bridge across the Salween River, which would allow them to move troops and supplies into China. To stem this tide, 2nd Squadron Leader Hill led a flight of four new P-40Es bombing and strafing into the mile deep gorge. During the next four days, the "A.V.G." pilots flew continuous missions into the gorge, effectively neutralizing the Japanese forces. From that day on, the Japanese never advanced farther than the west bank of the Salween. Claire Chennault would later write of these critical missions, "The American Volunteer Group had staved off China's collapse on the Salween." . After the deactivation of the Flying Tigers in July 1942, Hill was one of only five original "Flying Tigers to join its USAAF successor, the USAAF 23rd Fighter Group, with the rank of major. He activated the 75th Fighter Squadron and later commanded the 23rd Fighter Group as a Colonel. Before returning to the states in late 1944, Hill and his P-51 scratched another six Japanese aircraft. It is believed that he was the first to down a Zero with a P-51. Altogether, Hill was credited with destr.
