OLIVIER LE FLOCH WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTERS
USAAF 367th Fighter Group
Olivier Le Floch is a French aviation historian and writer with a particular interest in the USAAF 367th Fighter Group in Europe during World War 2. Olivier has developed a website and 18 very informative newsletters. I am very grateful to him for his permission to include links to them on my website.
Other Fighter Groups experienced similar issues to the 367th Fighter Group, so Olivier's information should be of interest to many.
