Some were wealthy scions attending colleges such as Yale and Harvard who quit in mid-term to join the war. In one squadron, a wealthy lieutenant ordered medallions struck in solid bronze and presented them to his unit. One young pilot placed the medallion in a small leather pouch that he wore about his neck.

Some years ago, the 510th Fighter Squadron Association merged with the 509th, the 511th, and the 405th Associations to become a single larger organization. As the 510th had the majority of members participating in the Annual Reunions, the members decided to retain the 510th Fighter Squadron Association name.
Over the past five years, members of the Association have submitted their photos, memories and achievements to this website, allowing us to share our continuously growing catalog to the general public. Today marks the first day where a member of the 509th has furnished their collection. View the 509th Collection. |
