RAF Mustang IV's
I have never seen much reference to use of these fighters by the RAF in
North West Europe 1944-45. I believe they were operated by 121 Group
and used as long range escorts to daylight Lancaster attacks in the same
way as P-51D's were used by the 8thAF on their raids. Do anyone have
any revealing information on these ops. such as numbers involved,
number of occasions they were carried out, losses and relative
success etc. Was the RAF Establishment keen not to emphasize the use
of non-British aircraft in the front line close to home?
