I have the Order of Battle, Station Locations, names of Commanders, Campaigns & Decorations awarded to the 370th Fighter Grp. during WW 2. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com The Group History on the 370th Fighter Group was published in the Spring of 2003 by Schiffer Military Publishers. It was authored by the grandson (Jay Jones) of one of the pilots in the 402nd Fighter Squadron which was one of three squadrons in the 370th (401st, 402nd and 485th). It is a big boo with lots of pictures , stories by veterans and drawings that relate to the Group and is one of the best group histories out there.
