As to 'Transition' during P-47/P-38 to P-51. It varied only for one Fighter Group, namely the 4th. Its first Mustang mission was all P-51 on 28 February, 1944...
Bill, that's absolutely fine, my taks when I write up will be to demonstrate that Opinion on the subject of Pointblank has some flaws

Thank you for the the very specific answer about fighter group transitions, clearly it was a fairly complicated process, with large-scale combat operations ocurring at the same time as the transitions.

I have sent you a message about Prien's Jagdfliegerverbände books.

Regards,

Paul
