The 348th Fighter Group was the most successful P-47 Thunderbolt
unit in the Pacific. Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Neel Kearby
took an aircraft that was generally despised in the southwest
Pacific and made it into the terror of the skies over such
formidable targets as Wewak on New Guinea, and Cape Gloucester on
New Britain. Besides the redoubtable Kearby, the 348th aces
included William "Dinghy" Dunham, Bob Rowland, Bill Banks, John
Moore, Sam Blair, and George Davis, the Texas ace who would later
receive the Medal of Honor in Korea. Ending the war in P-51
Mustangs, the 348th ranged over the Japanese homeland - completing
their impressive record and honor, and the drive begun by the
illustrious Kearby. John Stanaway is also the author of Attack and
Conquer: The 8th Fighter Group in World War II: Possum, Clover
& Hades: The 475th Fighter Group in World War II; The
Operational Story of Lockheed\s Lucky Star (all three titles are
available from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.).
