@flakmagnet0: P-47 Thunderbolts, P-38 Lightnings, and P-51 Mustangs take to the skies for long-range missions over Germany during World War II. From Allied airfields across England, waves of USAAF fighters roar down the runways bound for the skies over occupied Europe. Some would escort the heavy bombers deep into Germany. Others would hunt enemy fighters, attack railways and airfields, or strike targets on the ground. For the men climbing into these aircraft, every takeoff meant another mission over some of the most heavily defended skies in the world. #History #HistoryTok #WW2 #WW2History #Aviation
