This is relevant for my proposed Twin Engine GB. My idea is a Do-335 being delivered to a US airbase as part of Operation Lusty. This would be the next step of its journey.

Interesting link to the Reaper. Note, the article has a pic of the first Atlantic crossing, says 26 Corsairs on deck, I count 34, plus the 4 Avengers.
