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.</text>
