Timeline
A memorial plate/marker in English and French honoring Beerbower was placed near the entrance to the village's 12th Century church, Mont d’Hor in Saint-Thierry, France on 2014. He was also inducted to the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame in 2000.
Beerbower began scoring additional victories in January 1944 and was promoted to Captain on January 15, 1944. He finally achieved the flying ace status on February 20, 1944, by shooting down a Bf 109, his fifth victory. On April 8, 1944, Beerbower destroyed three German planes and damaged two others out of a numerically superior force which attacked the bomber formation he was escorting.

Brereton, the commanding officer of the Ninth Air Force in ceremonies in France. Though fellow pilots were transitioning to the newer P-51D, Beerbower chose to retain his B-model as it had 4 50 cal machine guns and was lighter as a result, with better speed, climb and maneuver characteristics.
Beerbower scored his final victory, a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 on July 7, 1944, bringing his total aerial victories to 15 and 2 aircraft destroyed on ground.

Beerbower named his P-51B 'Bonnie B', in honor of his daughter, Bonnie.
