Re: 15th Air Force terminology
Very interesting. What I still do not understand is the distinction between early and prior. It must be that if the prior return got past a certain boundary or point and then turned back they were then prior. e.g within 2 hours of the target or whatever, I note from the example R Swank kindly provided the early return was at 0708 and the earliest prior return was at 0851, by which time the 455th BG would be near the Yugoslav Romanian border. This means a border between early and prior was sometime between these two times.
Cheers
