| 説明 | Brazil entered the war on August 22, 1942, after German submarines sank several of its merchant ships in the Atlantic Ocean. Forca Aerea Brasileira (FAB) aircrews had already begun training with U.S. personnel and conducting antisubmarine flights off the coast of Brazil. By the end of 1944, this important mission was the sole responsibility of FAB aircrews flying U.S.-supplied aircraft.From the fall of 1944 to the end of the war, an all-volunteer group of 48 Brazilian fighter pilots flew as a squadron attached to the U.S. Army Air Forces' 350th Fighter Group, 12th Air Force, in Italy. Designated the 1 Grupo de Aviacao de Caca, these P-47 Thunderbolt pilots amassed an impressive combat record that included the destruction of over 1,300 motor vehicles, 250 railway cars, and 25 bridges.Forca Aerea Brasileira Officer's Service Uniform-This Forca Aerea Brasileira (FAB) officer's service uniform represents a first lieutenant in Italy.Forca Aerea Brasileria Flying Uniform-Braziliam pilots in Italy wore the same U.S.-issued flying clothing and equipment as their USAAF counterparts. Even so, their patches and distinctive white caps readily identified them as members of the 1 GAC.Senta a Pua Emblem-Senta a Pua! loosely translated means "fight with a spur," which is a phrase derived from rooster fighting. This expression became the war cry of the 1 GAC and it was incorporated into their unit emblem. This emblem was worn as a patch on their flight suits and also painted on their P-47s. |
