379th Fighter Squadron
Subject
The topic of the resource
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.
