The 357th Fighter Group produced 42 aces, more than any other group within the USAAF. Thanks to this fighter and the talented pilots assigned to the group (men such as Bud Anderson, Kit Carson, John England and Chuck Yeager) the 357th achieved a faster rate of aerial victories than any other Eighth Air Force group during the final year of the war. It was also the first group in the Eighth Air Force to be equipped with the P-51.
Written by Chris Bucholtz, this book is crammed full of first-hand accounts, superb photography and some of the most colorful profiles to be found in World War II It also claimed the highest number of aerial kills - 56 - in a single mission.The group was awarded two Distinguished Unit Citations (the unit equivalent of the Medal of Honor).
