She stayed with them all the way to Berlin.

The long-range escort, from Berlin to Tokyo.

By March 1944 the U.S. bombing campaign against Germany had the long-range, high-altitude escort it had sorely needed. On 8 March, 174 P-51s escorted 462 bombers over Berlin. On 7 April 1945, on the other side of the world, P-51s based on Iwo Jima flew their first escort missions to Japan, with the bombers bound for a target in Tokyo.
