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 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.

My grandfather, CPT HAL DIEFFENWIERTH, was a P-47 pilot with the 9th Air Force, 411th Fighter Squadron, 373rd Fighter Group. He attended flight school in Marietta, GA, then was stationed in Belgium and Germany. He was reported missing on 19 March 1945, after his plane, the MARY T(serial number 44-20071), went down in Germany. He was captured, but returned home safely after the war. I have a copy of the MACR and therefore know more about the crash, but would love to hear from anyone who knew my grandfather.
It was always hard for me to imagine my grandfather as a fighter pilot. He was a small, balding man who taught in the music department of our local college--a gentle man and a gentleman. I think that just shows that ordinary men, when called upon, can do extraordinary things. Many thanks to those of you ordinary men who became extraordinary when needed.

In memory of my uncle, First Lieutenant Harold G. Jordan, 494th Fighter Sq, 48th Gp. His P-47 was shot down on March 13, 1945, while making a bomb run in a ground support mission to Remagen, Germany. While directly over the target, his fighter was seen to sustain damage from enemy antiaircraft fire. Accompanying Thunderbolts reported to have last sighted his craft as it disappeared into a haze about 2:55 pm. He went down two miles inside enemy territory. He was a wonderful person and has been greatly missed.
