Bio

My father was James S. Frederick, Jr. who was a pilot in the 474th FG/428th FS and stationed at Warmwell. He was shot down over Normandy in a dogfight on July 6, 1944 and hidden by the French Resistance until August 12, 1944 when American forces overran the area he was hiding in. He returned to Warmwell in late August to retrieve his kit and was awarded the "Flying Boot" by Royal Air Force personnel. We are continuing the legacy of the 474th Fighter Group through the 474th Fighter Group Association where I am presently the Secretary/Treasurer. I quite accidentally stumbled on this site will researching an air battle and am quite glad I did.
