WOW - B-17

[BBrus]

I agree. This doesn't look like England to me:



Moreover, the article says:

Two and a half hours after being hit, the aircraft made its final turn to line up with the runway

It was hit, released its payload over the target and went back to England in two and a half hours? That'd mean the aircraft was flying at around 450kt, that's a the cruise speed of a Boeing 737, heh!

About the P-51, I believe they were already available by late 1942, the early versions, though.
