Tribute to the 357th Fighter Group

“The Yoxford Boys”

“The 357th is credited with 595 1/2 air victories, 2nd only to the great Hub Zemke’s 56th Group, which was in combat much longer. Considering the time factor, the 357th was the highest scoring group in 8th Air Force.” – Merle Olmstead

Honoring Those Lost in Combat

The P-51 Mustang

The P-51 Mustang was a truly significant aircraft, probably the best all around fighter developed during World War II.
