Richard A. “Dick” Hewitt joined the 78th FG based at Duxford in September 1943 and flew with this unit until the end of hostilities. The unit operated P-47 but
in December 1944 converted to P-51D Mustang and in the end of that month already flew its first mission with them. Hewitt logged 20 missions flying this
type out of his total 100 missions. On March 21,1945, he assumed command of the 82nd FS after he had shot down three Bf 109 two days earlier. On April
17 he destroyed a Me 262 on the ground after he had shot down another Schwalbe shortly before the landing at the Lechfeld airfield. This kill however
remained unconfirmed because his wingman, the only witness to this kill, was consequently shot down and became POW. Hewitt ended the war after two
tours of duty during which he logged 426 hours. Official Hewitt’s score was four aerial victories plus four individual and one shared enemy aircraft
destroyed on the ground. During his second tour of duty, Dick was promoted to the 82nd FS commander. His awards include Silver Star, four DFC and
13 Air Medals.The inscription "Big Dick” on his Mustang refers to Hewitt’s nickname. After the war he wrote a book"Target of Opportunity.”
