The 368th Fighter Group, known as the Jabo Angels, played a crucial role during World War II. Formed in 1943, it focused on attacking enemy ground forces. Initially, they flew P-47 Thunderbolts. This powerful aircraft allowed them to strike swiftly, supporting Allied troops on the front lines.

As the war progressed, the Jabo Angels gained a reputation for their daring missions. They targeted enemy supply lines and vehicles. Moreover, their pilots showed incredible bravery. By coordinating with infantry units, they ensured successful operations. The effectiveness of their tactics contributed significantly to the Allies’ efforts in Europe.
