February 22, 1945 — western Germany. A lone P-51D Mustang, “Sweet Louise”, is limping home from a raid on Kassel when her pilot looks down and realizes his fuel numbers don’t add up. The drop tanks are gone, the wing tanks are lower than they should be—and the fuselage tank that was supposed to be his safety margin is already half-empty. Somewhere in the dogfight, a tiny fuel selector switch by his right knee has quietly been knocked into the wrong position.
Over the Rhine, with flak below and no squadron in sight, one mistake on that switch means a dead Merlin and a forced landing in German fields. This video tells the documented story of how careful fuel management, altitude, and that “useless little” lever kept a P-51 Mustang flying on fumes all the way back to a wet English runway.
