And it leaves me with a fierce desire to forget the experience," the tall, quiet pilot remarks. The mission was one of the toughest and most hazardous In the group's history. The P-38's took off at dawn's first light, hug ged the ground across the moun tains of Yugoslavia, and then climbed suddenly before diving on the heavily defended oil re finery Europe's No. 1 priority target at that time.
