The first fully trained and fully equipped group sent to the South Pacific, the 345th racked up a devastating score against the enemy.

One of the sharpest tools in the U.S. arsenal, the 345th performed essential missions during Gen. Douglas MacArthur?s campaigns in New Guinea and the Philippines, earning an impressive four Distinguished Unit Citations. 610 10 $a United States. $b Bombardment Group, 345th. $b Bombardment Group, 345th. 610 17 $a United States. $b Bombardment Group, 345th. $b Bombardment Group, 345th. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01929697 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Personal narratives, American. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Aerial operations, American. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Pacific Area. 650 7 $a Military campaigns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 $a Military operations, Aerial $x American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710199 651 7 $a Pacific Area. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01243504 655 7 $a Personal narratives $v American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424071 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stout, Jay A., 1959- author. $t Air Apaches $d Lanham, MD : Stackpole Books, an imprint of The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, Inc., [2019] $z 9780811768092 $w (DLC) 2018044138 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190202010841.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D76C14226B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
