From left, 1st Lt. Joe Lane, Colonel Laughlin, 1st Lt. John Hill, and an unknown pilot stand in front the the chateau outside of Reims. Colonel Laughlin managed to "acquire" it, and it was large enough to house all of the pilots of the 362nd Fighter Group. These were the most comfortable accommodations the men would see during the war, and they never wanted to leave. The officers appear to have just come from the airstrip, as all of them are wearing their flight suits, with the two officers in front, both from the 377th Fighter Squadron, also wearing their leather jackets.

Information regarding the 362nd Fighter Group
Description
An account of the resource
Items in this collection are a part of the 362nd Fighter Group history. This means that items can pertain to the 377th Fighter Squadron (F.S.), the 378th F.S., and the 379th Squadron. Items that pertain to more than one F.S. will be placed here, even if one of those squadrons is the 379th. Whether the group commander was Colonel Morton Magoffin or Colonel Joseph Laughlin at the time of creation will not relegate items to this collection or that of the 379th F.S.; it is the content and context of the item itself.
