Re: 354th FG Mustangs on 5th / 6th June 1944
Thanks Martin.
The 354th FG took off from their home base at Lashenden, Kent (Station 410). and I guess headed inland to meet the C-47s which could have been coming from RAF or US bases in the west or Oxfordshire or South Midlands, (from where I know not) so at slow cruising speed and circling to form up they might have 'used up' 1.5 hours but it still seems too early.
Perhaps the take off time for the 354th was later?
Was the Luftwaffe active during the times you mention and would the 354th expect much 'trade'?
