I've given this some thought and have decided that I would like to be a little more specific in my time frame. I would have definitely wanted to have been with the 475th FG during Nov-Dec. of 1944. The ultimate versions of the P-38 were coming into service and their record was amazing. During that two month period they achieved 169 kills in the air against the loss of 9 P-38s and only 4 pilots.
"When you go home tomorrow, don't expect anyone to know what you have been through. Even if they did know, most people probably wouldn't care anyway. Some of you may get the medals you deserve, many more of you will not. But remember this, all of you are now members of the front-line club, and that is the most exclusive club in the world." - Lt. Col. Matthew Maer CO 1st Battalion, the Princess of Wale's Royal Regiment. Camp Abu Naji, Oct. 2004
