	The unit is referred to as the 352nd Fighter Group (using the common [[en:ordinal indicator\|ordinal indicator]] -nd rather than the archaic -d) in book titles ([https://www.amazon.com/352nd-Fighter-Group-Osprey-Aviation/dp/1841763829 ''352nd Fighter Group''], [https://www.amazon.com/Fighter-Group-352nd-Blue-Nosed-Bastards/dp/0811705773 ''Fighter Group: The 352nd "Blue-Nosed Bastards" in World War II''], [https://www.amazon.com/Bluenoser-Tales-Robert-H-Powell/dp/1934216380 ''Bluenoser Tales 352nd Fighter Group War Stories'']) historical associations ([http://www.352ndfightergroup.com/ 352nd FG Association], [https://www.8thafhs.org/fighter/352fg.htm Eighth Air Force Historical Society], [http://www.americanairmuseum.com/unit/295 Imperial War Museums]) memorials ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:352d_Fighter_Group_(United_States_Army_Air_Forces)#/media/File:RAF_Bodney_-_Memorial.jpg RAF Bodney Memorial]) and in some cases by the Air Force itself ([http://www.113wg.ang.af.mil/History.aspx 113 Wing history]). Previous Wikipedia discussions have indicated preference for the standard over the archaic indicator.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:132nd_Fighter_Wing][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/192nd_Fighter_Wing#Etymology][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:93rd_Infantry_Division_(United_States)#Stop_moving_this_page][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(military_units)#U.S._Army_%222d%22_&_%223d%22_or_%222nd%22_&_%223rd%22?]][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)/Archive_33#Non-standard_ordinal_abbreviations]. [[WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME]] states that "The name should generally be either the official name used by the armed forces to which the unit or base belongs; or, in cases where no relevant formal name exists or where a formal name is not commonly employed by historians, the most common name used in historical literature." This is a case where the formal name is not commonly employed and is comparable to the [[2nd Infantry Division (United States)]] and [[82nd Airborne Division]] where the generally accepted rather than the formal name is used.
