UPL 15387
IMAGE335th Fighter Squadron ground crewmen anxiously await the return of their pilots and aircraft from a mission to Germany in early March 1944. The men who spent so long maintaining the aircraft were crushed when one was lost in combat, and doubly so when it fell to a mechanical problem - the latter was, sadly, a regular occurrence with the early-build P-51B/Cs that equipped the 4th Fighter Group.
