On July 4, 1944 the 354th Fighter Group made history by taking the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force up for a look at the Saint Lo' area. General Dwight D. Eisenhower was interested in seeing what the Saint Lo' area looked like from the air, and to help plan battle strategy for the upcoming battle. William Andrews Hall's Mobile Unit from the 461st Air Service Squadron adapted a P-51B Mustang for this historic flight and he personally painted "The Stars Look Down" on the side of the plane.
