Welcome to "The Blue"

"The Blue" was the name the British gave to the vast North African desert, due to its appearance on a typically hot day. This site is dedicated primarily to the American pilots of the 57th Fighter Group who served in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia during the Second World War. More specifically, it is devoted to information about Guy O. Denton, of the 65th and, later, the 66th Fighter Squadrons from about September, 1942 through August, 1943. However, this may prove to be only a starting point. The site may branch out as time goes on. We shall see.

The above photo shows, as best I can ascertain, Class 42-G (graduated July, 1942), Luke Field, Arizona. Guy Denton is in the front row, kneeling, second from the right.

Welcome to my blog. I hope you find something of interest here.
