With the morning sun glinting on
their fuselages, P-51 Mustangs of the 78th Fighter Group cross the Dutch
coastline far below, heading back towards their base at Duxford, England
at the end of a long sweep east of the Rhine crossing in Spring 1945.
The final months of the war in Europe lie ahead, and for the P-51 pilots
the victory is within sight.
