BEYOND THE STORM
In this pair of eye-catching pieces, Anthony Saunders has chosen P-51s of the Mighty Eighth's 352nd Fighter Group to represent all those who flew Mustangs so heroically with the US 8th Air Force from England during WWII. In the first, Checking Out, the bad weather that has dogged the past few days is thankfully clearing, allowing the Group to begin their dispersal from Bodney to take part in an escort mission in early 1945. In the second, Beyond the Storm, the bad weather is, however, once again closing in as Captain Ray Littge, flying his P-51D Miss Helen, leads the 487th Fighter Squadron back home over the familiar Suffolk coastline in April 1945.

BLACK NOVEMBER DAY
On the morning of 8 November 1944, with Kommando Nowotny's Me262s still plagued by mechanical problems, Major Walter Nowotny stands down after his aircraft's jet turbine fails to ignite. Later, in the early afternoon, he took off in company with Lt. Frank Schall. After downing a B-17G, and probably a P-51D, he reported an engine failure. His last transmission before the crash in which he died, included the garbled words ?burning - on fire?.
