Tabs,
Yeagers group was the 357th along with Bud Anderson "Old Crow" Pete Peterson "Hurry Home Honey" #57th chalked up more kills than any other group in the ETO. Hubert Zempke's 56th FG flew the P-47 with great success and was well known for the straffing. Destroyed trains, tanks trucks and anything to stick its neck out during the day! Also great success air to air. Frances Gabresky shot down 28 in the ETO.
FYI... the A-10 is named after the P-47 Thunderbolt.
