The 56th Fighter Group was the most successful American fighter group in the European Theater of Operation. Their 679.5 aerial victories, the most in VIII Fighter Command, produced 47 aces. Three of those aces held different levels of command within the group. These three aces Colonel Hubert Zemke, USAF (Ret), Colonel Walker M. Mahurin, USAF (Ret) each responded to survey questions about combat leadership in the 56th Fighter Group from 1943-1944. Their candor provides invaluable historical insight into succesful combat leadership.
