 Hub Zemke lends his name to <i>'Zemke's Wolf Pack'</i>, the 56th Fighter Group that became deadly with the P-47 Thunderbolt thanks to his tactics with the machine.  He scored a total of 17.75 victories in the war, mostly with this unit, but is depicted here on 26th September 1944 flying a P-51 Mustang with the 479th Fighter Group.  He scored just 2.5 victories with this unit, but the one depicted here is over the German Ace Alfred Grislawski in his Me109 - a victory that injured Grislawski and meant he took no further combat role in the war.  At the end of October, Hub Zemke's airframe failed in turbulence and he bailed out to be taken prisoner for the rest of the war.  Amongst his many decorations are the Distinguished Service Cross and Distinguished Flying Cross as well as the Purple Heart.  He died aged 80 in 1994.

 An American pilot who joined the British Royal Air Force in 1940, he flew Spitfires with the 'Eagle Squadron' No.401 Sqn and No.133 Sqn and became an Ace before America joined the war.  Transferring to the USAAF as Commanding Officer of the 4th Fighter Group, he is shown here in 1944 flying P-51D Mustang 44-13779.  Credited with a total of 14.5 victories, he was regarded as one of the best fighter leaders of the war.  He died in 2008.
