The famous 4th Fighter Group began with an unusual
origin, and went on to become the highest-scoring fighter
outfit in Europe during World War II. Before America's entry
into the war, a group of Yanks entered the fray early as the
three RAF "Eagle" Squadrons. By early 1943, the mighty
8th air force arrived in England, and the Eagles became the
4th Fighter group. Based at RAF Debden, the 4th soon
found itself under the command of the legendary Donald
J.M. Blakeslee, whose brilliant leadership and combat
tactics would earn him the reputation as arguably the finest
Fighter Group Commander the U.S. had. Blakeslee and his
men were the Americans which prompted Hermann
Georing's famous comment that "when he first saw
Mustangs over Berlin, he knew Germany had lost the war."
The 4th would produce some of America's greatest aces,
such as Don Gentile, John Godfrey, 'Kid' kofer, 'Mac'
Mckennon and many others, ultimately destroying more
than 1000 enemy aircraft before war's end.
