Besides the bases I have already mentioned, there are very specific details I recall.
Important note
Past-life memory recall works differently compared to remembering what I did in this life. For example, I simply can’t ask myself what my name was back then. But, if the actual name is mentioned, it will be recognized by the body. That is how I managed to get a list of Airforce Bases I recognize.
Most of my vivid memories are from the European Theater. There is almost nothing of the Pacific Theater — all I have of that time is the drawing I made as a kid (as mentioned in 2. echoes-from-the-past).
The Air Bases (England) I recognized
Grafton, Thorpe Abbotts, Polebrook, Kimbolton1, Snetterton and Wendling.
Context
Without knowing anything about where any of the bases on England were, I looked at the full list and recognized those — and somehow they are all relatively close to each other; ~60 minutes of traveling away from each other… Keep in mind: there were many bases scattered all over south and south-east England — as well as a few on Northern Ireland.
Other historically verifiable details
The escorts by P-51 Mustangs
Before doing any research, I recalled this: escorts across the English Channel, but no further. I remember the anxiety when they peeled off — as well as the relief when they showed up while coming back over the The Channel after returning from a mission.
Historical Context
This exact situation is historically documented.
The P-47 Thunderbolt
Even though it was an aircraft used to escort Allied bombers closer to mission objectives, I don’t recognize it at all.
Historically verified context
The P-47 was used to escort bomber formations, but according to historical documentation, not all missions had them as support. Their range wasn’t the greatest — neither were their numbers. Most missions supported by them went to France.
The P-38 Lightning
I do recognize this one, but subtly. It had such a unique design and I remember it as the first escort type I had — just not very distinctly.
Footnotes

Somehow, I structurally remember it as: “Tumbleton”… maybe there is something to that “mistake”. Who knows, maybe I will find out later with the help of any historians or locals. ↩
