Donald Harlow Bochkay (September 19, 1916 – January 9, 1981) was an American fighter ace in the United States Army Air Forces.

At the age of nine, he moved with his family to the San Fernando Valley, California, and in 1935, he graduated from Hollywood High School in Los Angeles.

In November 1943, the 357th Fighter Group was assigned to the European Theater of Operations and was stationed at RAF Leiston in England, where the unit was equipped with the propeller-driven North American P-51 Mustangs.

On June 29, he shot down a Messerschmitt Bf 109 over Schöningen, Germany, his fifth aerial victory, earning the title of flying ace.

In October, he returned to the 357th FG and, on December 5, he shot down two Fw 190s northwest of Berlin, bringing his total aerial victories to 11.

The jet turned left, allowing Bochkay to fire at it again, resulting in a gunfire strike to the cockpit of the Me 262, and the consequent death of the pilot.

[8][9][10] On April 18, 1945, Bochkay shot down another Me 262 that was taking off from Ruzyně Airport in Prague, Czechoslovakia, his thirteenth and final aerial victory of the war.
