As a 12th AAF unit, how often did the 322nd FG escort heavy bombers (which would have surely belonged to the 15th AAF....) anyway???
To me, a claim such as "the 322nd FG never lost any of their aircraft whilst strafing airfields/destroying bridges/tankbusting or whatever...." would be far more impressive as those sorts of missions would have more likely been the 322nd's "bread and butter"or am I mistaken somehow?
