Title
A name given to the resource
A Lockheed P-38
Subject
The topic of the resource
A plane flown in both the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO) as well as the European Theater of Operations (ETO)
Description
An account of the resource
The P-38 Lightning was a thoroughly capable fighter plane. Weighing in at the same maximum weight as the P-47, it could accomplish the same mission types with similar armaments. Utilized in both the Pacific and European Theaters of Operation, it is one of the only fighter planes to remain in production from before WWII until the completion of it. Colonel Laughlin could have flown this aircraft on missions in the PTO, but there is no indication it was ever assigned to any squadron he was in. The P-38 would have been present at the Invasion of Normandy, however, and Colonel Laughlin and the 362nd Fighter Group would have flown with them at that time.

Title
A name given to the resource
Army Air Corps
Subject
The topic of the resource
The 362nd Fighter Group was a part of the XIX Tactical Air Command (TAC) which was under the Ninth Air Force in the Army Air Corps
Description
An account of the resource
No matter the differences between the Army and the Army Air Corps, the Air Corps steadfastly supported their ground counterparts. As a part of the Ninth Air Force, the 362nd Fighter Group flew in coordination of General Omar N. Bradley's First Army. They were a small cog in a very large war machine.
Items in this collection do not apply completely to the Ninth Air Force, the 362nd Fighter Group, or the 379th Fighter Squadron. They are a part of the larger story of the Army Air Corps.
