Shout out to Idksus who made the B-17's used and to 808REKT for the P-51's used A bit of back ground for both of the planes used starting with the red tails,The 332nd Fighter Group, famously known as the Tuskegee Airmen, were a group of African American pilots who served with distinction during World War II. They were renowned for their bomber escort missions, particularly their role in protecting American heavy bombers from enemy fighters. Their reputation for successfully safeguarding the bombers earned them the nickname "Red Tails" due to the distinctive red paint on their aircraft tail sections. Alright now the B-17 Flying fortress,The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is an American four-engined heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). A fast and high-flying bomber, the B-17 dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II, used primarily in the European Theater of Operations. It is the third-most produced bomber in history, behind the American four-engined Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the German multirole, twin-engined Junkers Ju 88. The B-17 was also employed in transport, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue roles.
