About Us.
Who are we and what do we do.
53rd Fighter squadron operations is apart of the Northern Forties Re enacment group, 53rd FSO has been set up in the Shropshire area because some USAAF re enactor groups are too far for some people get to them, So on the 14th of August 2010 53rd re-enactors Fighter Squadron was founded for ww2 re-enactors in the Shropshire and surrounding areas that portray USAAF in Europe.
Our re-enactment group portrays the 53rd Fighter squadron from 1943 to 1945 when they were here over in England with the 9th AF and in Europe.
