I have a friend who flew Thunderbolts in WW2. He was in the 36th fighter group, 22nd squadron. I could listen to him talk for hours. They did mostly fighter bomber work, and it is fascinating. What I wouldnt give to fly a P-47 just once. Alas, I guess a flight sim is as close as I will ever get. Great site. Keep up the good work.

Just recently had my computer overhauled & have been re-entering my www data. When I entered the P-47 Pilot''s Association web page I spent the next couple of hours reading all the guests comments. I am upset because I haven''t checked on it for quite awhile & there are several messages that I will now respond to that I might be able to help people get together. In the future I will scan your web page often so that I can respond immediately.

I am trying to find anyone that that flew with, or knew my Uncle, Gen. Willard W. Millikan. He was with the 4th Fighter Group, 334th Squadron in WWII, and later went on to command the 113th TFW. Maj. Gen. Millikan passed away in 1978 of a heart attack and was the assistant to the Secretary of Defense at the time of his death.
I am trying to obtain, articles, etc., and particularly PHOTOS, so that I can put a scrapbook together for my mom. She had one at one time, but it was destroyed and I would like to try and make another one for her by Christmas this year (2001).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My brother, 1st Lt. Donald E. Kraman, flew a P-47D-16
Razorback, C4-I,in the 388th Fighter Squadron, 365th Fighter
Group from Beaulieu Airdrome near Portsmouth, England
beginning early in 1944. He flew about 85 missions -- D-Day,
across France and into Germany. His last mission was on
February 8, 1944, when his squadron was flying out of an
airfield near Florennes, Belgium. His plane, C4-I had been
flown first by 1st Lt. Philip S. Isis of Washington, DC,
who was transfered to HQ and then was killed in action
September 27, 1944. My brother didn''t know the name of the
new pilot who inherited C4-I, and he learned later that he
did not survive his first mission. I am trying to find out
about this pilot and what happened to him. If you have any
information or would like information about this, please
contact me at . My brother, Don, is a
retired school teacher living in Corcoran, CA. He is
wheelchair bound now, but we got him over to Duxford,
England last year for the 60th Anniversary of the Battle
of Britain, where a P-47D-22 was flown, with a B-17 and a
P-51, in the American part of the show
