Description
A flight of P-51 Mustangs from the 8th Air Force's 361st Fighter Group "Yellow Jackets" are seen over England returning from a combat mission in early August 1944. The Mustangs are descending to penetrate the thick overcast blanketing the area of their home base of Bottisham, Cambridgeshire. Typically, only the flight leader flew instruments in the clouds - his 'chicks' kept him in sight by flying close formation.
'Daydream' was one callsign of the 375th Fighter Squadron, which displayed the "E2" fuselage code. A 3-ship from a sister squadron can be seen in the distance veering off slightly to make their own penetration. In my scenario the fourth man is missing - he was hit by flak over enemy territory and a few minutes later the pilot was seen to bail out. He got a good chute, so let's hope he can connect with the Underground or make it 'OK' to a POW camp ...
