A lot of the Lemmons scenes were great, too, especially him playing with the kids, and then sending them away when the planes weren't coming back. He's NINETEEN! And all his friends just died. Jesus.

LOVED the music this episode.

The escorts were a whole thing. I'm going from slightly elderly memories, but the feeling was that with so many guns, the b-17s wouldn't NEED fighter escorts since they'd be able to look after themselves (and the RAF was flying at night), so the AAF didn't bother developing any with a longer range. Multiple people warned them that this was going to be a fucking disaster, and it was. After the mission in Part 3, the higher ups put a rush on a long-range fighter (I think the p-51?), but by Part 5, they weren't coming off the line in high enough numbers to do any good.

Also like Rosie!
