description: Flying over Guadalcanal in the fall and winter of 1942-43, Joe Foss rewrote the aerial combat record books by becoming the first American to match legendary World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker's twenty-six victories, a feat that earned him the Medal of Honor. After the war, Joe Foss entered a new war zone, politics, becoming South Dakota's youngest governor. In the 1960s he was tapped to become the founding commissioner of the American Football League and was instrumental in creating the Super Bowl.
