Re: Spitfire escort to Churchill's York c.28/5/43
Brian,
There is a story of the York's navigator that seems to suggest that the RAF Spitfires flew out of Gibraltar and that the escort was taken over by USAAF P-38s from Oran.
In January 1943 USAAF Spitfires of the 308th FS/31st FG took position at Casablanca to cover the arrival of Allied leaders for the upcoming conference there.
Regards,
Leendert
