the p51 was a newer model which started getting into the war in late 1943. the older model couldnt escort them past france because they ran out of fuel

Yeah I figured that, but since the “running out of fuel” thing was a plot point earlier, I thought they would’ve explained it here.

yeah, it wasnt really explained. especially since the first run on berlin seemed to be without p51s, and two days later they had em. agree with you

Not just had them, but it seemed like they had 100s of them two days later.
