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.
