Michael J. Quirk, a member of the famed 56th Fighter Group, “Wolfpack,” became a “double Ace” over Germany. On 20 February 1944, it appeared there would be several days of good visibility and clear skies over the Reich...the allies could finally launch a long-planned series of coordinated attacks on Germany's aircraft industry. One thousand USAAF bombers, escorted by Republic P-47 and North American P-51 fighters, flew east to attack and destroy 12 targets. On 20 February 1944, Captain Mike Quirk and his flight of P-47s engaged in a general melee with 10 Focke Wulf 190s. "I picked out two" he said, "and after chasing them for a while, positioned myself on tail-end charlie and opened fire." Quirk claimed his first victory of "Big Week."
