Re: 97th Bombardment Group, 12 O'Clock High, etc
The "accepted wisdom" is that the fictional 918th BG was based on the 306th (note number is multipled by three) and that the fictional BG Savage was based on Armstrong. Of course, many of the incidents came from other groups (and, on the other side, "Wutz" Galland rolled into a composite character or simply confused with his brother, General Adolf Galland).
