In this wartime mission report, based on the true story of a daring World War II aerial engagement, we follow Captain Roscoe C. Brown Jr., a Tuskegee Airman who defied every expectation. On March 24, 1945, during a high-risk bomber escort over Berlin, Brown found himself face-to-face with a German Me-262 jet—one of Hitler’s top-secret weapons, faster and deadlier than anything the Allies had encountered. With no advanced targeting system, no radar lock, and flying a slower prop-driven Mustang, Brown made a split-second decision: take the shot head-on.
This report recreates that moment of impossible geometry, where raw instinct, battlefield math, and nerves of steel came together at 31,000 feet. We trace the full mission from the frozen airstrip in Italy to the bomber stream over Brandenburg, unpacking the fuel math, the formation tactics, and the jet kill that would shock both friend and enemy.
This is not just the story of a single pilot—it’s the frontline account of the Red Tails, the all-Black 332nd Fighter Group, whose discipline and courage shattered both enemy formations and military prejudice.
Mission: March 24, 1945 – Berlin. Fighter: P-51D Mustang. Enemy: Me-262. Outcome: Kill confirmed.
