Re: US fighters with No. 100 Group RAF
Further on in AIR 25/777: "Major Gates, the leader of the American contingent at Little Snoring, has made history by being the first single-engined fighter pilot to fly over Berlin during a night raid. He is extremly keen, and more than willing to take advantage of what little experience we can muster at this Headquarters. There seemed great possibility in this intruding in P.38's and P.51's and there is no doubt that full advantage will be taken by these officers of any operational opportunities that offers".
