308th FS Spitfire

Devil requested this skin for a future event. This is an adoption of a skin originally done by Player1.

The USAAF's 31st Fighter Group was sent to the UK by sea in June 1942 and equipped with Spitfire Mk Vbs taken from RAF stocks. Their RAF roundels were overpainted with US ones but they were otherwise not changed. The Group's 308th FS were based at Kenley and took part in some largely uneventful missions over France to build experience. In August they helped provide cover for Operation Jubilee, the ill-fated large scale raid on Dieppe. In a battle with a dozen FW190s they lost one aircraft and claimed one probable kill.
