I don't know what this means. The 354th GROUP was the pioneer Mustang group -- the first in Europe to convert to the P-51. They had a distinguised record. Major James Howard, the only Mustang pilot in Europe to win the Medal of Honor flew with the 354th.

You don't know what that means?

I think it means you don't know the difference between a group and a squadron. The 354th GROUP and the 332ND GROUP were made up of four SQUARDONS. Typical table of organization for a USAAF SQUADRON was 12 aircraft. A GROUP would therefore have 48 aircraft.

You said "354th fighter squadron", which is not the same thing as the 354th fighter GROUP.

His book says he was in the 354th fighter group. You need a rest.

This is your reply to post #436. I didn't mention "squadron" in that post. Are you trying to be dishonest? I think you are for whatever reason. I'll figure it out though.
