The sight of Spitfires escorting Lancasters - and in daylight - might seem highly unusual but operations like this were part of the massive Allied air effort against German forces after D-Day in 1944.
From Leo McInstrey's book 'Lancaster': " ... as the number of daylight raids increased, the Lancasters received fighter cover from the RAF for the first time in the war. 'The Spitfires were a very welcome sight and would accompany you to the target,' said Bob Knights of 617 Squadron."

One of my absolute favourite movies of all time. (Of course it's title doesn't hurt either). The best line in VR&B is — "I just wish to hell they'd paint these damn planes a nice drab brown... the English can see us a mile away."

Turkish Stars first female pilot leader & Mother of two children Major Esra Özatay (Türk Hava Kuvvetleri’nin ilk kadın jet filo komutanı Binbaşı Esra Özatay oldu)
The 20th Fighter Wing flagship F-16CM Fighting Falcon is parked on echo taxiway off the Shaw Air Force Base flightline, June 4, 2015, S.C. The tail of the fighter jet was recently painted to commemorate 50 years of the iconic Wild Weasel mission. The Wild Weasel concept was developed by the United States Air Force in 1965, after the introduction of Soviet Surface to Air Missiles and their downing of U.S. strike aircraft over the skies of North Vietnam. During the Vietnam War the Soviet SA-2 SAM threatened to halt air operations over North Vietnam. To suppress and destroy this threat, the U.S. Air Force countered with the courage and skill of the Wild Weasels, who flew some of the most dangerous missions in Southeast Asia. Fighter pilots are still using the aggressive Wild Weasel tactics in today’s air war, carrying out the legacy of the Wild Weasel in campaigns around the world. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kenny Holston/Released)

An F-15C hailing from the 159th FW “Bayou Militia” in a high speed pass over the CenterPoint Dayton Airshow. Check out those shockwaves. It certainly lends perspective to what an aircraft engineer has to consider when designing an aircraft.
A Marine flyer since 1935, Colonel Gregory “Pappy” Boyington was encouraged to resign his commission to fly with the Flying Tigers in China. There he got credit for six Japanese planes. But when he applied for reinstatement in the Marine Corps, he found himself disgraced for “having left the Corps in time of national emergency.” For nearly three months he parked cars in a Seattle garage until, in desperation, he telegraphed an Under Secretary of the Navy. In a few days he was on the way to the South Pacific where he was given a squadron of misfits. These pilots, unwanted by other outfits, and led by the oldest active Marine fighter pilot, made one of the great records of the war. The heart of this book is the colorful story of Boyington’s Black Sheep Squadron.
“Pappy” Boyington was a wild, hard drinking, professional Marine flyer who was one of the most unconventional heroes of World War II. As wild and independent as he was, he was a competent leader of men and had no desire to change his ways. He had never let anyone kick him around, and he saw no reason why he should let the Japanese do so in the air or after he was taken prisoner.
Winner of a Congressional Medal of Honor and a Navy Cross for his achievements while leading the Black Sheep Squadron, “Pappy” Boyington had twenty months as a prisoner of the Japanese in which to gain emotional maturity and sobriety. He freely admitted that during the nearly two years he spent as a P.O.W. his health improved due to the enforced sobriety. He retired from the Marine Corps on August 1, 1947.
Many people know of Pappy Boyington from the mid-1970s television show Baa Baa Black Sheep, a drama about the Black Sheep squadron based very loosely on Boyington's memoir, with Boyington portrayed by Robert Conrad. Many of Boyington's men were irate over this show, charging it was mostly fiction and presented a glamorized portrayal of Boyington. Boyington himself often told interviewers and audiences that the television series was fiction and only loosely related to actual history. Here is a 1970’s interview with Boyington and the actor who portrayed him on television, Robert Conrad.

Fighter Ace Lieutenant Frank Luke Jr. from Phoenix, Arizona of the 27th Aero Squadron of the United States Army Air Service stands in front of his SPAD S.XIII fighter plane in a field near Rattentaut, France on 19 September, 1918. Lt. Luke was the first airman in American military history to receive the Medal of Honor and he is second in aerial victories by Americans in World War 1 with 18 behind only the great Eddie Rickenbacker. Luke was the most productive fighter ace for any side in the entire war, because he achieved 18 aerial victories on just 10 missions over a period of eight days. His career as a pilot only lasted a 17 days when on September 29, 1918 Luke was mortally wounded by a bullet fired from a machine gun on a hillside as he attacked a group of three German observation balloons near Dun-sur-Meuse. He was forced to crash land in a field where he fled to a nearby forest and continued to discharge his Colt Model 1911 pistol until he collapsed and died by a stream. This photograph was taken just 10 days before his death.
