Articles Inside: … One Mission — Five Targets – When the Forts and the Mustangs went into the sky on a memorable morning in England recently, they proved that there was no place in Germany or German-occupied Europe that they couldn’t go. And on this particular day, they started out on a mission that had as stopping places Russia, Italy and then back home again.
