The Shadow Tiger: Billy McDonald—Wingman to Chennault  

For more than a decade, Museum trustee and WWII veteran Paul Hilliard and his wife, Madlyn, have provided transformative support for several Museum initiatives, including the capital expansion, restoration of artifacts, collection of oral histories, and many more.

This October, The National WWII Museum will embark on an inspiring seven-day, six-night tour of France, based on Alex Kershaw’s New York Times best sellers—“Avenue of Spies” and “The Bedford Boys”—with the author himself serving as featured historian. Guests will get an up-close view of the beaches of Normandy, while hearing stories of sacrifice about the Bedford Boys who came ashore with Company A, 116th Regiment, 29th Infantry Division during the first wave at Omaha Beach on D-Day.
