Looks like they had already started one you can see the flash on the tail of the second from the bottom.
Great shot.

From a well known set of photos taken by Captain Art Schramm of the 345th FS Devil Hawks of the 350th FG.

The 350th finally transitioned from P39s to P47s in August 44, the last combat USAAAF Cobras in Europe I believe.
