Re: Searching for fighter escort on target La Frilière bridge : 31 July 1944

Most likely the 363rd FG. No mention of the bridge though! From Kent Miller's book:
July 31
(#270) Capt. Melancon led 12 P-51s of the 380th on a B-26 escort from 1103 to 1300. R/V was made at 1124 near Cabourg and the bombers were taken to the Tours area. Escort was later terminated at 1245 near Cabourg.
