Hi guys,

Pics, data, anything?

I did find this - on one of my favorite sites, Hyperscale.com. Other than that, these pretty planes don't get a lot of coverage for some reason:

Any help much appreciated!

Wade,

James M. Fielder who served in the 459th during WW2 wrote a book on the squadron. Try you library for 459th Fighter Squadron, The Twin Dragons CBI 1943-1945. Very detailed.

Excellent! Many thanks.

Goes to show that not even Google "knows" everything - that book never popped up in my multiple searches.
