The green and black colors represent the colors of the Army Air Service, the five stripes signify the original five flying squadrons, and the five crosses symbolized the five major World War I campaigns credited to the group. A crest above the shield bore the Group's Latin motto "Aut Vincere Aut Mori" (translation: "Conquer or Die"). In 1957, the emblem was revised, with the crest removed and the motto placed in a scroll beneath the shield, now assigned to the <b>1st Tactical Fighter Wing</b>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Army_Air_Corps_service">Army Air Corps service</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1st_Operations_Group&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Army Air Corps service"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Air Corps Act of 1926, drafted by Chief of Air Service <a href="/wiki/Mason_Patrick" title="Mason Patrick">Mason Patrick</a> and passed in part due to the controversies involving <a href="/wiki/Billy_Mitchell" title="Billy Mitchell">Billy Mitchell</a> and in part to the recommendations of the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Morrow_Board&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Morrow Board (page does not exist)">Morrow Board</a>, replaced the Air Service with the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Army_Air_Corps" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Army Air Corps">U.S. Army Air Corps</a>.

During the late summer of 1942, the 1st FG flew training, escort and fighter sweeps over <a href="/wiki/Military_occupation" title="Military occupation">German-occupied France</a>.

However, as the year came to a close, the group's morale sagged. Though the move from England to the desert environment added sometimes 200–300 hours to the life of the liquid-cooled Allisons, few replacement parts and virtually no replacement aircraft were available. Col. Clifford R. Silliman, in charge of Lightning maintenance and repairs for the 1st, 12th and 14th fighter groups, recalled that no hangars, machine shops or service bays were available, forcing ground crews to make repairs in the open air. Crewmen were exposed not only to attack but to virtually incessant blowing sand and dust that continually fouled filters, breathers and lubricants. The searing sun was so intense that mechanics were unable to as much as touch the aluminum surfaces of the fuselage, wings and cowlings with exposed skin, Silliman said. The grating sand found its way not only into engine components and weapons but crewmens' bedding, footwear, clothing, hair, eyes and even their teeth. Pilots recorded some kills, but the loss ratio in air-to-air combat was even at best. For nearly a year, the group moved throughout Algeria and Tunisia, flying bomber escort and providing air coverage for the ground campaign. On 23 February 1943, the group began two days of low-level strafing missions in support of hard-pressed Allied troops at <a href="/wiki/Kasserine_Pass" class="mw-redirect" title="Kasserine Pass">Kasserine Pass</a>, losing several aircraft. </p><p>In April 1943 the Germans made several concerted attempts to reinforce the Afrika Korps using <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_52" title="Junkers Ju 52">Ju 52</a> transports flown at wavetop level over the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Sea" title="Mediterranean Sea">Mediterranean Sea</a>, resulting in a series of interceptions by Allied aircraft and large numbers of transports destroyed.

Outnumbered two to one, the group engaged the <a href="/wiki/Luftwaffe" title="Luftwaffe">Luftwaffe</a> for 40 minutes, enabling the bombers to strike their target and return to base without loss, but in doing so lost 13 fighters themselves, with 10 pilots killed. </p><p>The 1st Fighter Group became part of the newly created <a href="/wiki/Fifteenth_Air_Force" title="Fifteenth Air Force">Fifteenth Air Force</a> in December 1943 and moved to Italy, temporarily based at several airfields until its base at <a href="/wiki/Salsola_Airfield" class="mw-redirect" title="Salsola Airfield">Salsola Airfield</a> was ready on 8 January 1944. Living and supply conditions improved for the airmen, who received new P-38Js in the spring. On 16 April 1944, the group flew its 1,000th combat mission. </p><p>The 1st Fighter Group received its third DUC for an escort mission on 18 May 1944. Assigned to escort the force of 700 B-17 and B-24 bombers to the oil refineries at <a href="/wiki/Ploie%C5%9Fti" class="mw-redirect" title="Ploieşti">Ploieşti</a>, Romania, bad weather caused roughly half the bombers to abort the mission. The 1st Fighter Group continued through the heavy weather to support B-17s that continued to the target and engaged 80 Luftwaffe and Romanian fighters attacking the Flying Fortresses. The group's 48 P-38s shot down and damaged nearly 20 aircraft for a loss of one P-38, and drove off the rest. </p><p>The minimal effect of high altitude bombing raids on the Ploieşti refineries prompted Fifteenth Air Force planners on 10 June 1944, to lay on a low level dive bombing attack by 48 P-38s of the 82nd Fighter Group and 45 of 1st FG. Mechanical turnbacks reduced the force by 21 aircraft, nine from the 1st Group. En route to the target much of the 1st FG was separated from the main force by a navigational error. Part of the 71st Fighter Squadron observed and attacked 6 <a href="/wiki/Dornier_Do_217" title="Dornier Do 217">Dornier Do 217</a> bombers but underestimated the numbers of Romanian <a href="/wiki/IAR_80" title="IAR 80">IAR 80s</a> escorting the bombers. Although six fighters and two bombers were credited as shot down, the 71st lost 9 Lightnings. When the 82nd FG arrived in the target area, along with the 27th Fighter Squadron and one flight of the 71st, they found the Ploieşti defense forces fully alert and a protective <a href="/wiki/Smoke_screen" title="Smoke screen">smoke screen</a> concealing the targets. Flak shot down 7 P-38s during the attack, and 2 more were lost in <a href="/wiki/Strafing" title="Strafing">strafing</a> attacks on the return to Italy. After the attack, the 27th Fighter Squadron engaged 30–40 <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109" title="Messerschmitt Bf 109">Bf 109s</a>, claiming 4 destroyed, 2 <a href="/wiki/Probable" class="mw-redirect" title="Probable">probables</a>, and 4 damaged, but lost 4 P-38s in the engagement. In all, the 1st Fighter Group had 14 P-38s shot down, its heaviest single day loss of the war, while claiming 18 kills, including five by a 71st pilot, 1st Lt. Herbert Hatch. The 82nd FG lost an additional 8 Lightnings. </p><p>From 10 to 21 August 1944, the 94th Fighter Squadron deployed sixty Lightnings to <a href="/wiki/Aghione" title="Aghione">Aghione</a>, Corsica, providing air support for the Allied <a href="/wiki/Operation_Dragoon" title="Operation Dragoon">invasion of Southern France</a>. On an escort of a <a href="/wiki/Photo_reconnaissance" class="mw-redirect" title="Photo reconnaissance">photo reconnaissance</a> mission to <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a> on 26 November 1944, the group lost an aircraft and pilot to an <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_262" title="Messerschmitt Me 262">Me 262</a> jet. </p><p>The group's last major operation of the war came between 16 January and 19 February 1945. Under <a href="/w/index.php?title=Operation_Argonaut&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Operation Argonaut (page does not exist)">Operation Argonaut</a>, the 1st FG escorted British and American delegations to the <a href="/wiki/Yalta_Conference" title="Yalta Conference">Yalta Conference</a>, deploying 51 P-38's to protect the ships and aircraft carrying President <a href="/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt" title="Franklin D.

Roosevelt</a>, Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Winston_Churchill" title="Winston Churchill">Winston Churchill</a>, and their aides to and from the <a href="/wiki/Crimean_Peninsula" class="mw-redirect" title="Crimean Peninsula">Crimea</a>. The group changed bases shortly after its return to combat operations, moving to <a href="/wiki/Foggia_Airfield_Complex" title="Foggia Airfield Complex">Lesina</a>. There the 1st Fighter Group received two <a href="/wiki/P-80" class="mw-redirect" title="P-80">YP-80A</a> jet fighters (serials 44-83028 and 44-83029) sent to the theater for operational testing ("Project Extraversion"). Although the jets were marked for combat operations with easily identifiable tail stripes and the letters 'A' and 'B' on their noses, and flown on two operational sorties by the 94th FS, neither saw combat before the end of the war. </p><p>On 15 April 1945, the <a href="/wiki/27th_Fighter_Squadron" title="27th Fighter Squadron">27th Fighter Squadron</a>, which had scored the 1st Fighter Group's first kill of the war, also recorded the group's last aerial victory of World War II, during a mission in which 5 Lightnings were shot down strafing German airfields, with 4 pilots killed. Its final combat losses occurred on 23 April 1945, when three aircraft were shot down and a pilot, Capt. Clarence I. Knapp, killed in action. </p><p>During nearly three years of combat flying, from 31 August 1942, to 6 May 1945, the 1st Fighter Group flew over 21,000 sorties on 1,405 combat missions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Aerial_victories">Aerial victories</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1st_Operations_Group&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Aerial victories"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The first aerial victory by a 1st Fighter Group pilot (and the first USAAF kill in the <a href="/wiki/European_Theater_of_Operations" class="mw-redirect" title="European Theater of Operations">European Theater of Operations</a>) occurred 14 August 1942, by a 27th Fighter Squadron pilot, 2nd Lt.

Among the various units of the 1st, the 27th Fighter Squadron had the most victories, with 83 pilots credited with 176.5 kills. The 94th Fighter Squadron was credited with 124 kills by 64 pilots and the 71st Fighter Squadron with 102 kills by 51 pilots. </p><p>The uneven distribution of kills among the squadrons is an apparent reflection of an unequal degree of contact with German fighter units after June 1944, almost all of which occurred in July 1944. Of the last 38 kills awarded to the 1st Fighter Group, 30 were by the 27th FS (24 in July, 2 in August 1944, and 4 in 1945). The 71st FS recorded only four, with the last occurring 21 October 1944, while the 94th recorded four in July 1944 and none thereafter. </p> <table class="wikitable" style="margin:0.5em auto; width:650px;"> <caption>Aces of the 1st Fighter Group </caption> <tbody><tr> <th style="background:#39f; color:white;">Pilot </th> <th style="background:#39f; color:white;">Squadron </th> <th style="background:#39f; color:white;">Credits </th> <th style="background:#39f; color:white;">Aircraft flown </th></tr> <tr> <td>Capt.

in 1977, at least a dozen different groups attempted to locate and recover one of the eight aircraft abandoned on the Greenland ice cap after the forced landing of 15 July 1942. One of the B-17s was located and found to have been crushed by the glacial forces. A P-38 in restoreable condition was then located in 1988 approximately 268 feet below the surface. Efforts to bring it to the surface began in May 1992, culminating in the recovery in October 1992 of P-38F-1-LO 41-7630, last flown by 1st Lt. Harry L. Smith, Jr., 94th Fighter Squadron. </p><p>The P-38 was subsequently restored to flying condition over the next ten years, dubbed <i><a href="/wiki/Glacier_Girl" title="Glacier Girl">Glacier Girl</a></i> by its new owner, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Lost_Squadron_Museum&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Lost Squadron Museum (page does not exist)">Lost Squadron Museum</a>, and flown on 26 October 2002. The P-38 (civil aviation number N17663) was stored at the museum's location in <a href="/wiki/Middlesboro,_Kentucky" title="Middlesboro, Kentucky">Middlesboro</a>, Kentucky, until its sale to a private individual. A <a href="/wiki/Scale_model" title="Scale model">scale model</a> kit of <i>Glacier Girl</i> was released by <a href="/wiki/Academy_Plastic_Model_Co." class="mw-redirect" title="Academy Plastic Model
