Tribute to 1st Lieutenant Sellers S Hardee 357th FS 355th FG

I wanted to say a formal thank you to all those members who helped me with researching the crash of Lt Hardee.
The reults of my endeavours can be seen at:

I hope you find it a fitting tribute to just one of the fallen.
Robert

    Rob - nicely done. I would suggest one change.
    Although the 355th FG did excel at strafing, they also rose from 9th of 11 (8th AF) Fighter Groups in February 1944 to 5th in 15 FG's in air to air credits at the end of the war, finishing 3rd of 15 in total credits for LW aircraft destroyed in ETO behind the 4th FG and 56th FG.
