Description
WW2 Combat Series
�Top Gun � 1944 version � P51 v Bf109 G�
The P51 escorting group strike at marauding Bf109s to shepherd them clear of the approaching B17 force. The ability of the P51 to penetrate deep into northern Europe helped make the daylight missions of the 8th AF more survivable despite the major effort by the Luftwaffe to stem the bombing tide. Fierce aerial battles were a daily occurrence as the offensive gathered pace from 1944 onwards.
