You have to have that control of the airspace beforehand.

So the race is on.

And fortunately, they come up with a solution, which is the P-51 Mustang, which has originally been commissioned in May 1940 by the British, developed from sketches to reality in 117 days. It's a work of absolute genius. But Stoll is harnessed with a really bad engine. The Allison engine is just not right for that aircraft.

And it's not until a Rolls-Royce Merlin, which is the same one that powers the Lancaster, the Mosquito, and Spitfire and Hurricane, is put into the P-51 Mustang, that suddenly you've got your solution. Because that means it can now fly with extra drop tanks and fuel tanks. It's so aerodynamic and it's so good, the higher it goes with this engine, the more fuel efficient it becomes.

It can actually fly over 1,400 miles, which gets you not just to Berlin and back, but to Warsaw and back. So suddenly you've got that solution. And actually by April 1944, they have cleared airspace. And by the end of May 1944, just on the eve of the invasion, Operation Overlord, the closest German aircraft that is seen fighting Allied aircraft is 500 miles from the beachhead.
