They escorted the first 15th AF mission to Berlin.

Slightly off-topic:
I'll probably never understand those negative comments about a movie, which, after all, even didn't pretend to be a documentary, yet alone comparing modern visualisation technologies with almost archaic Battle of Britain movie. The movie about a real WW2 fighter unit could be a very good starting point to one's interest in aviation history and may led to the desire to know "how it was in reality", just like, I suppose, the mentioned Battle of Britain movie, first seen in their teens, eventually led many of forum members here and even further on to write their own books on WW2 aviation
