ALG Photos Verification - need help

[Larry]

It occurred to me that you are researching the 367th Fighter SQUADRON, that flew the P-47 rather that the 367th Fighter Group which flew P-38s.

You need to be very specific on this forum!

According to John Hamlin of Air Britain Historians, the 367th FS used A-14 Cretteville from 3rd July 1944, and only moved out on 14th August so I guess that's the base your pilot remembers.

BTW - I am doing the same as you on the 405th FG

Yessir. I referenced 367FS earlier in the thread. I will do better.

The pilot, Tommy Thompson, and I were discussing two efforts of a mission he flew on. After completing the first effort of the mission, he landed on an ALG at the beachhead, refueled and rearmed and then took off for the second effort. They were still stationed at High Halden at that point. The 358FG began moving to A14 Cretteville on July 6 and the pilots moved over on July 29 (367FS Mission Report/Diary).

I would be lost if I tried to write the history of the 358FG. I can't find enough time to finish the 367FS and I am only focusing on the last 6 months of 1944.

Thanks for your help. Regards
