Title: 346th Fighter Squadron Movies
Post by: Corsica on October 01, 2016, 11:01:43 PM

Hi All, I thought you might be interested in some WWII movies depicting the history of the 346th Fighter Squadron of the 350th Fighter Group.  An aerial view of the 346th FS base at Pisa can be seen in here:

For you gents flying the Scenario, the 346th FS was part of the 350th FG.  So this is the same turf our old Airwarrior flying buddy Earl Miller flew with the 345th FS of the 350th FG.  It's some great film and a real step back in time
