The 4th Fighter Group
Based in Debden, Essex, the 4th Fighter Group was the highest scoring fighter group in the USAAF, destroying 1,016 enemy aircraft on the ground in and in the skies over Europe. The group flew Spitfires, Thunderbolts and Mustangs while serving with the 2nd Air Division's 65th Fighter Wing - part of the "Mighty 8th Air Force." Originally comprised of the three American RAF Eagle Squadrons, the 4th was the first fighter group activated in a theater of war, the first to escort bombers over Berlin and led the first England to Russia shuttle mission.
