” The P-51D Mustang fighter is first used on a bomber escort mission in support of the USAAF 8th Air Force raid on Kiel.”

Would love to know the German fighter pilot’s reaction to seeing those in action for the first time.

Here are some P-51pics I got from the local air show last Aug. 30. They are different views of the same airplane. I think there were 4 or 5 different ones at the show.
