S3 Summary
The 31st Fighter Group continued with its work escorting heavy bombers in Wild Horses Roam,
except now the targets were in Germany. First armed with P-47Ds and P-38s the 31st pushed the bombers
into the Lions Den and were soon given the P-51D Mustang. An impressive S3 series all around with a
outstanding 7 1/2 kill/loss ratio and only 5 losses out of over 150 sorties.
