Activity During WWII

Served in WWII with the 354th Pioneer Mustang Fighter Group, during the European Theater of Operations. The 354th Fighter Group was the first unit to receive the P-51B fighter in Europe. The unit was originally part of the 9th Air Force, but was quickly taken over by the 8th Air Force to escort their Heavy Bombers on the long bombing raids into Germany. The P-51 aircraft played a big part in the destruction of the German Luftwaffe.
