Not every mission they did was escort, they did some ground attack. They have about 150 ground kills, you don't do that flying escort. Do a little reading before you post. I don't have data but i'm willing to bet there were other units with similiar ecords, especially in 1945 and especially given that the myth of 'never lost a bomber' was so widely distributed. The USAF rarely did fighter sweeps, they were all about ground attack in one way or another. Yes do fight on in your ignorant ways, someone from the black panthers must have sent you and the droolmonkey RCG over over.
They had 112 aerial victories while escorting, the 352 was also an ecort wing they managed 519 aerial victories escorting. You really don't mind posting and not knowing much do you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/352d_Fighter_Group
Sorry, the 17 is not what 'saved' the day. I would respond to correct your inaccuracy but I'm getting tired of correcting dumb lefties as it is like trying educate a golden retriever.
I would be pissed if I was a WWII fighter pilot not in the Tuskegee group. When I saw that Obama ordered a flyover for this movie I was reminded how important symbolism is to the left. Tuskegee was of symbolic importance mostly. It is plainly obvious when you look at the numbers of aircraft involved. The one impactful accomplishment was to help open up the military to blacks. As grown ups we can appreciate that alone is good enough, but that's not good enough for others. So why do they need to lie and exaggerate? Why the disregard for realism? I understand Lucas, he hates most of America and he'll do anything to stab at it. RCG can't argue with you on the basis of reasons or facts, he quickly moves on to ad hominens, but then of all things he glibly pretends to be intellectually and morally superior. This behavior is unfortunatly typical, a disturbing echo of the old communist disdain for intellectuals.
Whatever you say "88" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)#As_a_Neo-Nazi_symbol Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as a code to represent the slogan Heil Hitler.[3] The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, so 88 is meant to stand for HH. The number is sometimes used in combination with the number 14 (e.g. 1488 or 14/88). In this context, the number 14 stands for the "Fourteen Words", which is a white nationalist slogan created by convicted terrorist David Lane. Examples of usage include: the song "88 rock'n'roll band" by the neo-Nazi band Landser, and the names of the groups Column 88, Unit 88, White Legion 88 and Barselc88. Holocaust museum shooter James von Brunn often signed his writings as "JVB-88."

Angry? How so? You are the outed one, it took me 30 seconds to find your 'number' comrade. Bet it took you a week to come up with that 88 garbage.
