History of the 357th Fighter Group, Eighth Air Force, a P-51 outfit that fought over Europe for 1 ½ years. Won two Unit Citations and flew on the last of the England to Russia "shuttle" missions. Second only to the 56th Fighter Group in total number of aerial victories, and produced 42 aces- Kit Carson, John England, Bud Anderson, Dick Peterson and Chuck Yeager to mention a few. Olmstead's grasp of the Mustang and its complexities will also satisfy those with a desire for technical material on this fine long range fighter.

"In the fierce air battles of 1944-45 over Europe few AAF fighter units saw more combat that the 357th Fighter Group. The first Eight Air Force unit to be equipped with the P-51 Mustang, the 357th became the second highest scoring fighter group in air-to-air combat with the Luftwaffe. They claimed 595 victories and spawned forty-two aces while earning two Distinguished Unit Citations. This history was researched and written by charter member of the group, Merle Olmsted, who relies on a score of pilots for their thrilling first hand accounts of aerial battle from six miles above the Continent down to its treetops and spires.".
