Description
Depicting B-29s of the 499th Bomb Group, 73rd Wing of the 20th Air Force during the final stages of the War in the Pacific. After a daylight raid on Tokyo, showing all the telltale signs of combat over the target, a Wing of the world’s largest and fastest ever piston-engined bombers make their long over-water journey home, still many hours away at Saipan Island. At the extremity of their range, “little friends,” very-long-range P-51 Mustang escort fighters, peel off and head for home – leaving the mighty bombers to fend for themselves.
