A tribute to the 45th Fighter Squadron, based at Sidi Slimane AB, French Morocco, one of three Strategic Air Command bases in North Africa, 1954-1955. The pilots (my dad being one of them) went on what they called "Bear hunting" missions, which were patrols along the Moroccan coastline looking for any Russian bombers that had less than desirable intentions.
