Reference to 373rd Fighter Group is incorrect. This unit was originally designated as the 371st Fighter Group, redesignated 142nd Fighter Group and allocated to Oregon in 1946. Reference is Maurer, Maurer, Editor, "Air Force Combat Units of World War II," Office of Air Force History, Washington D.C. 1983, entry for the 371st Fighter Group, pages 257 - 258. Online at: [1]
Also, reference to the 142nd Fighter Group being redesignated as the 142 Fighter Interceptor Wing in the 1950s is incorrect and a frequently made mistake. The 142nd Fighter Group/Fighter Interceptor Group of that time was a separate organization of the Oregon Air National Guard. The 142nd Air Defense/Fighter Interceptor Wing was a higher-level organization that absorbed resources from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and maybe even Montana, Air National Guard fighter groups. It had a cadre of its own men at Geiger Field near Spokane, WA, but wing staff were augmented by additional personnel from the ANG fighter groups as required, such as during annual summer training encampments held at Gowen Field, Idaho. Sources for this organization are not easily found, one is an article at: [2] ––Zuke Tower
