The 362nd Fighter Group was a part of the XIX Tactical Air Command (TAC) which was under the Ninth Air Force in the Army Air Corps
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.

A British bomber gunner wrote a thank-you note to U.S. fighter pilots
Description
An account of the resource
There is no indication of which newspaper ran this article, however, it appears to be written by a British gunner in response to a group of P-47s providing escort to his crew. It shows just how thankful airmen, especially those in the bombers, were of the presence of fighter planes and their pilots.
