Information regarding the 379th Fighter Squadron, as a part of the 362nd Fighter Group
Description
An account of the resource
Items in this collection have the distinction of applying solely to the 379th Fighter Squadron. While they can also apply to the 362nd Fighter Group, their distinction is important given the time Colonel Laughlin spent as their Commanding Officer. However, the date of creation does not relegate items to this collection or that of the 362nd Fighter Group; it is the content and context of the item itself.

The P-47 tail was painted to represent the type of plane, the Fighter Squadron, and the Fighter Group it was a part of
Description
An account of the resource
The markings on the vertical stabilizer of a plane had two distinctions. The bottom stripe delineated what type of plane it was; the black stripe was on all P-47s in the war. The tip of the fin designated which fighter group the plane belonged to; fins in the 362nd Fighter Group were painted red. The rudder was painted in the color of the plane's fighter squadron; yellow was the color of the 379th Fighter Squadron. The horizontal stabilizer had similar distinctions. The number below the stripe on the vertical stabilizer is the plane's serial number. The number shown is the serial number from the plane Colonel Joseph Laughlin was flying in early 1945.

Description
An account of the resource
This press release, also found in a partial article from a Nebraska newspaper also in this collection, describes the recent successes of Colonel Laughlin in France. It includes the details behind a Ninth Air Force record-setting flight that was Colonel Laughlin's idea as payback to the Nazis for all that they had done so far. It goes into detail about Colonel Laughlin's life before the war, his friendship with the current 362nd Group Commander, Colonel Morton Magoffin, and how he is viewed by the men in the group. It is also the only time his first wife, Kathleen, is mentioned in any format.

377th Fighter Squadron pilots Lt. Robert J. "Red" Campbell and Lt. Roy D. Christian hang onto a previously camouflaged 88 mm flak gun. These larger flak guns were used to target high-altitude planes, like the P-47. Sadly, Lt. Christian was KIA a few months after this photo was taken.

Description
An account of the resource
Items in this collection have the distinction of applying solely to the 379th Fighter Squadron. While they can also apply to the 362nd Fighter Group, their distinction is important given the time Colonel Laughlin spent as their Commanding Officer. However, the date of creation does not relegate items to this collection or that of the 362nd Fighter Group; it is the content and context of the item itself.
