The 52d Fighter Group was formed early in the war, before U.S. manufacturing was in full production. The Brits were surviving on air power so there were Spitfires available and some Americans had already been flying Spitfires with the RAF. The group confirmed 425 kills and produced more than 20 Aces.

The most eerie version I ever saw was one in the "Peoples' Revolutionary Military Museum" In Beijing. There was one there with Mao's red stars on it.
