On one Army Air Force Bombardment Mission planned in the vicinity of Berlin, no German fighter attacked the Bomber Group as well as the escort : P-40, P-38 Lightning and P-51 Mustang Long Range.
On their way back to England, another order was send for the escort planes : “turn into ashes everything that the German Army, Luftwaffe and Marine, could use to fight the Allies, in the Air, on the Field as well as everywhere these could hide”.
This was the order and this was what the escort did that day.
See the movie.
(note) I don’t know what the US Navy’s Planes are doing in this movie as I don’t remember having read about Aircraft Carriers in the ETO, but should you notice this, don’t worry … They did fight to.
