Letters From Readers – July 2009 Aviation HistoryAVH Issues | 0 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post Steve Blake of Mission Viejo, Calif., noted that in the Zemke’s Wolf Pack section of the same “Flight Test,” the answer to question number 4, “What fighter type did Lt. Col. Hubert Zemke fly right after transferring from the 56th to command the 479th Fighter Group?” is not, in fact, B. North American P-51 but D. Lockheed P-38. When Zemke assumed command of the 479th FG on August 12, 1944, that unit was still flying P-38s. He flew four combat missions in Lightnings—on August 18 and 25 and September 8 and 11—before leading the group’s first P-51 mission (a mixed formation of Mustangs and Lightnings) in a P-51 on September 12.
