ANY WW2 Historians here??

The Army Air Corp also fought in the Pacific.
They I believe were mainly bomber escorts at first but I could be wrong.
They flew mainly P70s, P38s, P39s, P40s, P47, P51s,and of course the bombers.
I know the P40s,51s,and 47s were also used in Europe as will as B17s not quite sure of the other bombers.
My father in law Bob started out in bombers but was able to transfer to fighters at Oahu.

Then was based on Ie Shima an island off of Okinawa.
He flew P38s and his last planes P47d and P47n. The 47s were kind of multi purpose used as fighters and bombers they could also carry missiles.
He was in the 318 Fighter Group 73rd Fighter Squadron.

Here's some pictures:
