421st Night Fighter Squadron in World War II (Hardcover, illustrated edition)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

As one of seventeen night fighter squadrons established during the
course of World War II, the 421st Night Fighter Squadron carried
the war into the night skies over the battlefields of the Southwest
Pacific when most other fighter squadrons remained on the ground.
In the squadron's years of service they would be based in a number
of places ranging from New Guinea, Leyte, and finally ending up as
an Occupational squadron in Japan after the war. The 421st NFS
would be credited with thirteen kills, three damaged, one probable,
and a number they simply never received credit for. On February 2,
1945 the 421st NFS would finally be deactivated and overnight
become the 68th Fighter Squadron (All Weather). The history of the
421st however, would by no means end there. The 421st would again
rise in later years as the 421st Tactical Fighter Squadron and
fight in the skies of Vietnam, and later be one of the first
squadrons flying in Operation Desert Storm - true to its tradition
the 421st would fly night missions over Iraq.
