BEWARE THE THUNDERBOLT!

The story of the legendary 56th Fighter Group in a chronological narrative of their combat missions during World War II. Composed of heroic pilots that aggressively took the air war into the enemy heartland in 1943, the "wolf pack's" P-47 Thunderbolt contrails crossed high in the upper stratosphere as they escorted heavy bomber missions, or fell upon the enemy on the ground as their pilots destroyed over one thousand Luftwaffe aircraft. Also coupled with their post-war history of innovative Mustang missions to Alaska, and the first trans-Atlantic jet fighter missions in the P-80 Shooting Star.
