The 41st Fighter Squadron operated in the South West Pacific Theater during WWII. Pilots flew the P-39 Airacobra, P-47 Thunderbolt and the P-51 Mustang in combat. Experience the unit's history, told by the veterans themselves from the earliest pre-war maneuvers, attack on Pearl Harbor and transit overseas. Learn about the squadron's service in Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines, Okinawa and the occupation of Japan, earning three Presidential Unit Citations.

Join eighteen veterans: 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 memories of V-J Day. 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.
