US fighters with No. 100 Group RAF
From Martin Middlebrook's "The Nuremberg Raid":
"The U.S.A.A.F. had recently sent four long-range fighters – two Lightnings and two Mustangs – to operate with 100 Group in an experimental Intruder role and these were now stationed at the Mosquito airfield at Little Snoring. They had recently flown to Berlin with Bomber Command and were to fly that night to Nuremberg. It is unlikely that any of the R.A.F. bomber crews knew that American fighters were flying with them in this manner." I didn't knew about that either, can someone provide more information (or a good source) on the use of these US fighters in that role?
