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.

Pilots of the 379th Fighter Squadron execute a dual takeoff
Description
An account of the resource
It was not uncommon for pilots to execute dual takeoffs when launching for a mission. It ensured the planes would get into the air and into formation quicker than doing it one-by-one. This picture is captioned as being at Station 159 in Wormingford, Essex, England. The planes are setting out on a bomber escort mission.

In order to make sure pilots were combat ready and effective, the Army Air Corps required Instrument Flight Tests be completed every six months. This one, completed at the 362nd Fighter Group's base at UK Station 412 in Headcorn, Kent, England, is significant because it lists his good friend and Group Commander, Colonel Morton Magoffin, as his Instrument Check Pilot.
