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.

I am looking for anyone who have have known Lt. Colonel Rufus O. Barkley, Jr. He was a P47 Thunderbolt pilot. I''m sorry that''s about all the information I have on him other than his plane crashed during WWII. My father who served in the Army at that time is deceased and I regret that I did not obtain information about my uncle from him and the missions in which he participated. Thanks to anybody who can help or direct me in finding this information.
