I am 30 years old and have always been interested in World WarII. Unfortunately our schools don't think this is an important enough part of history. I never spent more than a few days in any history class learning what our soldiers, pilots, and seamen really went through. I would be interested in hearing from any North Carolina natives who flew during the war. God bless you all. You are the last true American heroes.

My wife's uncle recently passed away, his name was Ike Killingsworth of Longview, Texas. She discovered he was a WWII fighter pilot who flew the Republic P-47. We would like to know more about him, if anyone knew him, or about him we would appreciate being directed to any information about his service during WWII.

Greetings
I am attempting to locate anyone who may have flown withor have any information regarding my Uncle Rudolph Marko.
Rudy as he was known, was a Hungarian kid from Cleveland
Ohio, and flew a Republic P47D named JULIA during WWII.
He was shot down and killed over either France or Belguim
I believe in 1944. He was a 2nd Lt. and a wing Comander.
His body was returned via the Red Cross, and he now rests
in the veterans section of Calvary Cemetary in Cleveland
Ohio. He may have spoken of his little brother Steve (my
father, now deceased) who was serving with the Marines at
the time.He won the Distinguished Flying Cross and four Oak
Leaf Clusters prior to his death. He was last seen diving on
some nazi tanks in a treeline, and was never seen again.This
is all the information I have, and any help finding more
would be greatly appreciated.PLEASE feel free to contact me
by e-mail rmagyar21@yahoo.com, by telephone at (216)663-3985
or snail mail Bob Magyar, 14704 Brunswick Ave. Maple Heights
Ohio, 44137. I never knew my Uncle, but when my Grandmother
died in 1979 she called out to her beloved son, now they
belong to the ages. I wish to honor my Uncle by assuring
he will not be forgotten by the generations to come.
SEMPER FI Bob Magyar

Just got in from the Warbirds Airshow in Asheboro NC. 2 Jugs dropped in on the festivities, and just completely made the day. Didn't catch where they were from, but one was named Hun Hunter. I have some digital captures, E-mail me if interested.

Hi, I served in SAC as a B-47 co-pilot in 1957 and 1958. At that time my aircraft commander of our air crew was a Capt. Glen E. Stribling who was a P-47 pilot in WW2. I would like to hear from anyone who knew Glen Stribling when he was flying the P-47.

One hell of an airplane, from everything that I've read,and it compares to other WWII fighters like a bulldozer to a Bobcat.

The home page of this site says that as of the fall of 1996 there are 6 Jugs still in flyable condition. Can or will anyone tell me how many there are today? More important, where are they located? I ask because I have a wish, that may seem rather foolish, or even childish to some, and that is some day to be able to sit down in the cockpit of a flyable P47 and have a knowledgable person point out all of the controls to me. Nothing else. No touching anything. 15 - 20 minutes I would be satisfied. Why do I want to do this? My Dad, who passed away in December 2000, flew the Jug. He never wanted to talk about it that much, but I feel that just to be someplace he was, in his workspace so to speak, when he was leaving his youth behind, would help me understand the man he became. In addition, I believe it would make my sense of gratitude to him and all other
fighter pilots more profound.
Being a fighter pilot was a damn hard thing to do, just on a technical level, and to do it under combat conditions is just incredible. I dont know how he did it, but I am damn glad he and they did. They assured my freedom, many with their lives.
God bless em all!

Nice site! I was wondering if anyone could link me to some info with which to help me locate war records of my grandfather, Lieutenant William Czygan. All that I know is that he was a P-47 pilot who flew in both the North African and Italian Campaigns and he had one and a half enemy kills to his credit. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Last week we buried our uncle, and your fellow P-47 pilot, Robert L. Daly. Uncle Bob served in the United States Army Air Corp. as a fighter pilot in WW II, attaining the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Robert received the Air Medal, Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart. Uncle Bob rarely spoke of his war experiences, although on one occasion, some fifty years afterwards, he told of being shot down over France and his relationship with the French family that helped him to the Swiss boarder. After the burial, we found a picture of another pilot, with the note, 313th Fighter Squadron, 50th Fighter Group. I presume this was his unit as well. Should any of you have knowledge of this fighter group and/or Robert L. Daly from Brooklyn NY, please drop me a line. Best wishes to all.
