A tribute to the Mustang Pilots of the 325th Fighter Group –the Checkertails
ROAM AT WILLby Anthony Saunders
Returning to base after an arduous escort mission, Captain Art Fiedler leads a flight of P-51 Mustangs from the 325th Fighter Group – theCheckertail Clan– through the Po Valley in northern Italy seeking out targets of opportunity among the retreating Axis forces, July 1944.
When in December 1943 the 325th Fighter Group, theCheckertail Clan, had moved into south-eastern Italy they were soon escorting American bombers on long range missions deep into occupied Europe. In two years of air combat theCheckertailssoon became one of the crack units in the Fifteenth Air Force, destroying a staggering 537 enemy aircraft in the air, and accounting for many more on the ground.
