Re: Question concerning fuel on operations
In the 325th Fighter Group, 15th AF, all P-51s were fully fueled and rearmed upon landing as one could never know when and where the next mission would be flown. “Short Mission” is difficult to define for us as the shortest distance to Yugoslavia was 137 miles and to North end of the Adriatic 310 miles although toward the end of the war there were some missions flown in support of operations in Northern Italy.
Cordially, Art Fiedler
