370th FIGHTER GROUP IN WORLD WAR II

A history of the 370th Fighter Group in the words and photographs of the veterans. The unit was assigned to the Ninth Air Force and flew P-38 Lightnings. It was involved in every major Allied offensive from D-Day onward. The group supported Operation Cobra, flew missions over the Falaise Gap, and flew cover over Operation Market-Garden. On missions after the weather cleared, the men could actually watch from the base as their planes made dive-bombing runs on German armoured columns. The group converted to P-51 Mustangs in March 1945, just in time for cover missions during Operation Varsity, the Rhine River crossing. This is one of the most thorough and comprehensive unit histories written and is a must for veterans and enthusiasts.
