506th Fighter Group's Black Friday
On 1 June 1945, 506th Fighter Group went on a very long range escort
mission over Japan. Enroute, they encountered a huge weather front but
the decision to go through it was taken. This lead to the loss of 27 Mustang
and 24 pilots - the heaviest losses ever encountered by a Mustang fighter
group.
I would like to write a short article about this tragic event I am looking
for pictures, testimonials, articles, anything that could help create
the article. If you have anything you think might prove useful and are
willing to share it, please contact me.
165-gallon drop tanks
In the Pacific, Mustangs used very-long range 165-gal tanks which were,
I believe, built for the P-38 Lighting. I am looking for pictures or plans,
or any information concerning these.
