Re: RAF Mustang Escorts
RAF Mustang III squadrons provided withdrawal support for 8AF bomber groups on occasion; for example on the 6 March mission to Berlin RAF Mustang IIIs from 19, 65, and 122 Squadrons made rendezvous with drawing bombers north of Hanover.
RAF Mustangs weren't equipped with the fuselage fuel tank of their USAAF counterparts, with so lacked range to provide escort into deep into Germany.
