An Austrian V-J Day: The 371st Fighter Group and the Victory over Japan

A flight of 79th Fighter Group P-47D Thunderbolts prepares for takeoff, probably at Horsching. The nearest ship looks to be the group commander Colonel John F. Martin’s X01, sporting a feminine figure on the engine cowling, faintly visible. Scenes like this were regular for the 371st Fighter Group’s P-47s and pilots as they continued to train at Horsching after the war. (Courtesy 79th Fighter Group, Robert M.
