Question: Name the former United States Army Air Forces fighter pilot, who flew the final combat mission of World War II in a North American P-51 Mustang againstJapan off Iwo Jima Island on August 14, 1945?
Context: The Cavalier Mustang was a post-World War II civilian-modified version of the North American P-51 Mustang aircraft.  Although originally intended as a high speed personal aircraft, the Cavalier was also exported for use as a fighter and close air support aircraft to third world air forces. Jerome "Jerry" Yellin (born February 15, 1924) is a former United States Army Air Forces fighter pilot, who flew the final combat mission of World War II in a North American P-51 Mustang against a military airfield near Tokyo on August 14, 1945 (August 15, 1945 local time in Tokyo).  Captain Yellin's mission was executed five days after a U.S. Army Air Force Boeing B-29 Superfortress named Bockscar had dropped a second American nuclear weapon on Japan, with the second being dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki. The 496th Fighter Training Group (FTG) was a United States Army Air Forces unit, serving with the Eighth Air Force in the United Kingdom during World War II.  Activated in December 1943, the unit trained replacement pilots on the Lockheed P-38 Lightning and later the North American P-51 Mustang.  In October 1944 its training mission was ended when the Eighth Air Force decided to instead train pilots in operational training units that were part of combat fighter groups.  For the remainder of its service, the group provided support services for units at RAF Halesworth, including an air-sea rescue squadron.  The group was inactivated in April 1945; its attached units were directly subordinated to the 65th Fighter Wing and remaining personnel transferred to an air service squadron. Louis Edward Curdes (Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States, 2 November 1919 - 5 February 1995) was a fighter ace pilot of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II with the rank Captain.  He was decorated with two medals of Cross of Distinguished Flight and a Purple Heart.  For his missions he used a North American P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft under the nickname "Bad Angel." Iwo To (硫黄島 , Iō-tō , "sulfur island") , known in English as Iwo Jima (    ), is an island of the Japanese Volcano Islands chain south of the Ogasawara Islands and together with them forms the Ogasawara Archipelago also known as the Bonin Islands.  The island of 21 km (8 square miles) is 1200 km south of mainland Tokyo and is administered as part of Ogasawara, one of the eight villages of Tokyo inhabited only by Japan Self-Defense Forces and used by the U.S. Navy for carrier practice.  It was the setting of the February–March 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima involving the United States and a small number of elements of the British Pacific Fleet versus the Empire of Japan during World War II.  The island grew in recognition outside Japan when the photograph "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" was taken on Mount Suribachi, the highest point at 160 metres (528 feet), during the battle by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal.  The U.S. occupied Iwo Jima until 1968 when it was returned to Japan. The Last Fighter Pilot is a 2017 work of creative nonfiction written by author Don Brown, which documents the final combat mission of World War II, flown by fighter pilot Captain Jerry Yellin against Japan off Iwo Jima Island on August 14, 1945 (August 15, 1945 in Tokyo.)  Captain Yellin flew the final combat mission in a North American P-51 Mustang along with another pilot, First Lieutenant Phil Schlamberg, who was piloting a second P-51 as Captain Yellin's wingman.  Schalmberg was apparently shot down as he and Yellin attacked a military airfield outside Tokyo about the time that Japanese Emperor Hirohito's famous Jewel Voice Broadcast was being played over the airways, effectively announcing Japan's surrender.  Phil Schlamberg became the last known combat death of World War II.  His body was never recovered. United States Army Air Forces 2nd Lieutenant Wah Kau Kong (Chinese: 江華九; Pinyin: Jiāng Huájiǔ; born January 17, 1919 in Honolulu, Hawaii; killed in action over Blomberg, Germany, February 22, 1944) was the first Chinese American fighter pilot.  Kong became a chemist after graduating from the University of Hawaii and joined the United States Army Air Forces after the Attack on Pearl Harbor.  After completing flight school, Kong became a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot in England.  He claimed 1.5 victories before being killed in action on a mission over Germany in late February 1944. Roland R. Wright (30 March 1919 – 19 October 2015) was a Brigadier General of the United States Air Force who was a pilot during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.  During World War II, Wright was assigned to the 364th Fighter Squadron, 357th Fighter Group where he flew the P-51 Mustang.  Wright had three confirmed aerial victories, one of which was against a Me-262—the eighth to have ever been shot down.  All three P-51 Mustangs he flew were dubbed the 'Mormon Mustang'.  Wright eventually reached the rank of Brigadier General, retiring in 1976.  Wright was also one of the first members of the Utah Air National Guard. James "Jabby" Jabara (10 October 1923 – 17 November 1966) was the first American and United States Air Force jet ace in history.  Born in Oklahoma, he lived in Kansas where he enlisted as an aviation cadet at Fort Riley after graduating from high school.  Jabara attended four flying schools in Texas before he received his pilot's wings and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant.  Jabara flew two tours of combat duty in Europe during World War II as a North American P-51 Mustang pilot, and scored 1.5 air victories against German aircraft. Urban Leonard Drew (March 21, 1924 – April 3, 2013), known as Ben Drew, was a fighter pilot in the United States Army Air Forces and a flying ace.  He was the first and the only Allied pilot to shoot down two Luftwaffe jet-powered Me-262 aircraft in a single mission while flying a propeller-driven North American P-51 Mustang.  He received the Air Force Cross for the mission in 1983.
