Capturing the hearts of a beleaguered nation, the fighter pilots of World War II engaged in a kind of battle that became the stuff of legend. They cut through the sky in their P-38s to go one-on-one against the enemy—and those who survived the deadly showdowns with enough courage and skill earned the right to be called aces. But two men in particular rose to become something more. They became icons of aerial combat, in a heroic rivalry that inspired a weary nation to fight on. Richard “Dick” Bong was the bashful, pink-faced farm boy from the Midwest. Thomas “Tommy” McGuire was the wise-cracking, fast-talking kid from New Jersey. What they shared was an unparalleled gallantry under fire which won them both the Medal of Honor—and remains the subject of hushed and reverent conversation wherever aerial warfare is admired. What they had between them was a closely watched rivalry to see who would emerge as the top-scoring American ace of the war. What they left behind is a legacy of pride we will never forget, and a record of aerial victories that has yet to be surpassed anywhere in the world.

This paper looks at one possible development strategy for the inner city of Winnipeg, a strategy consistent with forecasts that the city will experience continued low growth to the year 2000. The proposed strategy of inner city stabilization recognizes that technological change has created an excess supply of downtown land in the inner city. The strategy involves the reclamation of obsolete industrial & commercial land in the downtown in order to create modern residential subdivisions which would border on a more compact downtown. It also proposes that land banking initiatives be undertaken in concert with the reclamation activities. Options for implementing the strategy are discussed and examples of potential reclamation parcels are identified.
