The Long Arm Over Berlin: How One Fighter Changed WWII
Discover the untold story of how American P-51 Mustang fighters reached Berlin in March 1944—a feat the Germans thought impossible. This documentary explores the engineering breakthrough that revolutionized aerial warfare and turned the tide of WWII.
For 18 months, Allied bombers suffered devastating losses over Germany. Enemy fighters waited beyond escort range, knowing American P-47s and P-38s had to turn back. Then everything changed.
The P-51 Mustang wasn't just faster or more maneuverable—it had something far more valuable: range. Through innovative fuel system design, drop tanks, and meticulous engineering, the Mustang could escort bombers 1,200 miles round trip and still have fuel to fight.
This is the story of March 6, 1944—the day American fighters appeared over Berlin, shocking German pilots and commanders. It's about how small engineering details changed grand strategy, how fuel pumps and tank placement decided the fate of nations, and how absolute air superiority made D-Day possible.
From the drawing boards of North American Aviation to the skies over the Third Reich, witness how innovation, determination, and obsessive attention to detail transformed the air war in Europe.
