The 356th Fighter Group in World War II In Action Over Europe with the P-47 and P-51

 

Here for the first time is the story of the 356th Fighter Group which flew in the European Theater of Operations during the Second World War. This 8th Air Force unit spent over two years in England, occupying the airfield at Martlesham Heath, in the county of Suffolk. Originally entering combat flying P-47 Thunderbolts, and later switching to P-51 Mustangs, the 356th dispatched its aircraft on 407 missions across the Channel. Between the time of the first, on October 15, 1943, and the final mission on May 7, 1945, the 356th was credited with destroying 277 enemy planes.
