Great site and I look forward to visiting a lot. Check out www.divetheworld.com/projects-team and have a look at the P47D on the bottom of the Med. I run a time team called Sea-Tech Exploration and are planning to perform a full survey of the area around Corsica to find more aircraft with the hope of returning the pilots back to the US for proper burial. Drop by on the web site and don''t forget to sign the guest book. Check out the B17 also.

I love old war birds and sometimes wish that I lived back then to have a chance to fly one. I fly Giant Scale war birds and am working on one P47 now.I feel that If I''ll never be able to experiance flying the real thing, this is the next best thing. And it''s safer too. Great web site, keep up the good work.

My father flew 51''s and 47''s from england into france and germany during the war He was an insructor in Texas for a bit beleive at Randolph Field and Kelly Field.His wingman got jumped by six Me109''s and in the shootout they got several but got heavily damaged as well. The old man's plane took a 20mm in the supercharger which left a 2x3 foot hole in the fuselage. One cylinder was shot off but he still made it to base.Hise wingman had 14 holes I believe.
The old mans plane was abandoned immediately after touchdown and he walked back to the apron.The plane was damaged beyond repair.He got a silver star for the days work.His plane had the name Dooley on the front. I have a picture of him with Presnell who was a high scoring pilot also .I beleive they were in or around St.Lo. France My fathers name was mispelled by the government as john grey instead of __ay so he had to use their spelling for several years.
If anyone can recall any stories about those days it would be fun to hear from them.My father was also the only non high school graduate to get an appointment to West Point. in 1939 I beleive.I went for a ride in a mustang a few years ago and the pilot put her thru some aerobatics and it was a lot of fun.Never been out of shape in a plane before.
regards,
john gray

What a great airplane, especially the bubble canopy edition.
the Mustang was a fine airplane, but the Thunderbolt is a real mans plane. Tough, reliable and just plain mean

As web master of the 10th Air Force Tribute I would like to hear from anyone who flew or worked on the P-47s with the 33rd FG,
80th FG, or the 1st Air Commando Group in CBI.
I would especially
love to share any photos from members of these units on my web
site. I''ve got a sort of special attatchment to The Jug as dad
worked on the assmebly line at Republic Aviation doing final
assembly work on the tail sections during the early days of
WW II. Keep ''em flying.

My father, Lt. Col. M.A. (Ma) Barrett (ret) flew P-47''s in the 22nd Sq., 36th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force in England, France & Belgum during World War II. As a young Lt. and later Capt. he flew many combat missions in support of Gen Pattons 3rd Army, flew over Omaha Beach on D-Day and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross. I am very proud of my father and the many other brave pilots who flew in harms way to help in the greater effort of defeating the enemies of freedom and democracy.
