Just a qick note to pitch my 3rd printing Book "Target of Opportunity". Now in 15 Foreign Countries and almost all 50 US States. "nuff said. It retails at your doorstep for $19.95. Guaranteed to be one of the best first person reads from a P47/P51 Pilot from the 8th AF/78th F.G. on WW2. GREAT Xmas gift for anyone from 8 - 80+, buff or Vet or any next of Kin who wants to know what went on with a Pilot or Crewman who flew in the ETO/WW2.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of a P-47 pilot by the name of Melvin Pownall, Class 44G, who graduated from Mariana AFB, Florida? His hometown was Coatsville, PA just west of Philly, and he flew Jugs in the AF Reserves in PA
after WWII.

Hello,
I'm looking for info on P47 units of the 9ninth AF who were active in Germany between Koeln and Frankfurt am Main, on the morning of Oct.7th.1944. I'm busy with 412 Fight.Sq., trying to locate which ME109 and FW109 "Jagdgeschwadern" clashed with P47D's of 412 FS. My question: did any P47 unit of 9th. AF met with Luftwaffe units that day? If anybody could be of help to give some hints, directions...I would be very thankfull.
Greetings from the Netherlands

I saw a p-47 in flight at an airshow. What a fabulous shit-kicker of an airplane. The ground shook! I cannot imagine how it must have been to fly in one, let alone fight in it. Thanks for these reminders.

My father flew a p47 and was in squadron 387. He was station in England from 1944. His name was Harold W. Cowper. I would love to hear from any of crew members. I too was in the Air Force for twenty years. I think that this is a great site.
Thankyou for letting me visit this site.

My father was a P-47 pilot. He flew this aircraft from 1945 till 1946, in the USA at Strother-Field - texas while training with the USAF for action in Italy and also after the war in Brazil. He suffered a serious disaster with one P-47, but fortunately bailed out ove the sea.
The P-47 is very popular in Brazil because it was the plane used by the Brazilian Fighter Squadron in Northern Italy at the end of the war. We do have one of these planes that flies and even fire its guns - the only one in the world.
