Hi Bob: I enjoyed your Web Site. I'm a member of the P-47
Pilots Association and enjoy the reunions. It's great to
see the members of my Fighter Group (353rd)each year at the
reunions, although we have less each year.

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.

I flew P47 razorbacks with the Royal Air Force in Burma. Looking for other RAF types who were there. Of my squadron RAF 135 all known pilots are either in the wild blue yonder or I have not been lucky enough to find them. If any are please contact me on my email reklaw23@naples.net

My brother Samuel Pittman Cole, Jr. was shot down Nov. 18, 1944 over Neunehofen, Germany near Grevenbroch. The name of the plane he was flying that day had Susan on one side of the cowling and Fritz on the other and Easy''s Angels on the tail. Would like pic or information on whose plane it was.
Also his assigned plane was Ida Red and I am looking for pics or information on Pitt''s plane. He was with the 36th Ftr Squadron, 23rd Fighter group, 9th AF. I just attended the reunion in Mystic and it was so heartwarming to meet all involved and especially Steve Kirkup & family who hosted the reunion. It was my first and will be permanently remembered in my heart as I was only 41/2 when he was killed and to talk with people who knew of him and especially his crew chief, Herman Toups, made it very memorable. Pitt''s plane ( a part of the pic ) seems like it was silver with the very front black. would love a pic of that plane which was in Le Culot Belgium.
