William Bruce "Bill" Overstreet Jr. (April 10, 1921 – December 29, 2013) was an American fighter pilot and a veteran of the 357th Fighter Group, 363rd Fighter Squadron of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. He is best known for pursuing a German Messerschmitt Bf 109G underneath the arches of the Eiffel Tower in 1944.
The scene of Overstreet chasing and downing the enemy plane is said to have inspired French citizens and the Resistance. He was awarded France's highest military award, the Legion of Honour, by French Ambassador to the United States Pierre Vimont at a ceremony held at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia, on June 6, 2009.
Overstreet died on December 29, 2013, at the age of 92.
