joined the 373 Fighter Group and checked
out in P47's. He flew 57 missions, mostly

Allen V. Mundt
|
First mission on 14 December
which was also the first time to carry two five
hundred pound bombs and make a formation
take-off in the P-47 . Scheduled for the second mission on the 16th which was the day
the Battle of the Bulge began. Would have
been a most notable mission except they
decided finally to replace the "new boy" with
an old head. That was after the briefing and
a long, long very nervous standby. The fog
was memorable.

James H. Mundy
|
I drew the 514th Squadron, and we had fun with the P-39's for
couple of months until the razor back
arrived. The first jug looked like a single
engine C-47 after flying the pee-wee P-39. It didn't take long to adjust, and soon we
were doing innovative things like instrument flying three successive layers of overcast to 20 thousand - the entire Group at
once.........
