356th FG: A 'hard luck group'?
Guys:
Going over my old copy of Mighty Eighth & came across the somewhat less well known Fighter Group, the 356th; supposedly the 8th AF Fighter Group with the worst vic to loss ratio in air to air combat...so(since I sort of like 'underdog/underachiever' stories) I have to ask the following questions:
Was it just because they had trouble coming to grips with the Luftwaffe or did they actually get outfought or did they end up getting 'shut out' by more aggressive groups? Or did they simply have bad luck?
Could anybody recommend any bios for any 356th Men?
Finally: Are there any 9th AF FGs or 2TAF squadrons that were in the same category?
Thx
NM
