I guess I'll never know, but that
first
sight if the lone B-17 and that lone P-51 covering is a sight I never
will
forget. I still get choked up thinking about it.

Thanks Art. A while back I got to talk to one of the Tuskgee Airmen that
was speaking to our church group. He flew P-51's in that top-cover role.
Afterwards he had to sit down for several minutes to regain his composure.
So you're not the only one choked up by those experiences.



I guess that it happened many times, but I saw it only once. It is a sight that
never can be forgotten.
