The 41st fighter squadron operated in the Pacific during WWII.
Where it flew the P-39 Airacobra, P-47
Thunderbolt and the P-51 Mustang. They earned three Presidential
Unit Citations. Witness its history from the earliest pre-war
maneuvers, Pearl Harbor attack and transit overseas. Learn about
the squadron's service in Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines,
Okinawa and the surrender of Japan.
Join eighteen veterans: both pilots and
enlisted men as they share recollections about all aspects of
their service, including flying, daily living, enemy air raids,
victories in the air, and V-J Day memories. Each veteran interviewed
has amazing recollections to share: both humorous, and others
deadly serious. Their experiences provide insights into the past
and lessons for the future.
