Pilots of the 354th Fighter Group talk on the wing of a P-51B Mustang before a mission, 18 January 1944. Passed for publication 18 Jan 1944. Printed caption on reverse: 'Battle Of Berlin Fighter. The Mustang P-51B, newest aircraft to be used in the European Theatre of Operations, is the longest ranged single-engined fighter in the world ... and one of the fastest. These aircraft took part in last week's great air battle, escorting Forts and Liberators deep into Germany. There is reason to believe that the new Mustang may have Berlin range. O.P.S. The Mustang and her pilot preparing for a flight. (Barratt's 18/1/44)' On reverse: Barratt's Photo Press and US Army General Section Press & Censorship Bureau [Stamps].
