Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments
are always welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: 325th Fighter Group
The 325th Fighter Group commenced combat operations in the
Mediterranean Theater (MTO). They flew their first missions, from
North Africa, while part of the 12th Army Air Force. In November
1943, they became part of the 306th Fighter Wing, and moved to
Italy with the newly formed 15th AAF, for the remainder of the
war. Three squadrons, the 317th, 318th, and 319th formed the
325th. As you will see in these pages, the "Checkertail Clan"
accumulated some impressive statistics. During the war, they
flew long and arduous missions, never sure when the war would
end. Together, with all the other groups in the Fifteenth Air
Force, they formed an integral part of the Allied Air War. In an
effort to preserve their history, these pages are dedicated to all
those who served with the 325th Fighter Group.
