The attached spreadsheet highlights longest combat engagements flown for 56FG with each of the tank combinations. Missions identified with 8th AF Victory Credits Board June 1945 but Kent Miller's Pilots and Units of 8th AF Fighter command pretty well matches the VC Board data.
Thanks for posting that, it's a great resource. I do have a couple of quick questions about it.
(1) In some of the entries in the fourth column, the distance value is followed by letters in parentheses, e.g. HA, SM, etc. What do these letter combinations mean?
(2) In some cells the entry is followed by asterisks, e.g. in row 21, in the fourth column, it says 286** (SM)..To what do the asterisks refer?
