My Grandfather Albert Wade flew the p-47. I would like to find info on the unit he flew with. I know the emblem on his plane had Wiley Coyote holding a broom and a bomb. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

I am a veteran of WWII, serving in the Pacific Theater in the 509th Composite Bomb Group, which dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. I remember the p-47's well, and especially after they received the Rolls Royce engines

Yesterday we buried our uncle, and your fellow P-47 pilot, Rober L. Daly. 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, I 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 for a peaceful Memorial Day.

Just found this site while researching info on one of my grandmothers cousins Harold C. Nussman who flew a P-47 in WWII. I enjoyed reading information on the type of A/C he flew.

Back in the war,the OSS was a big part of the war. and I was glad to be a part of it. Colonel Parker had us running missions as close to Berlin as we could get.I recall running a mission in desquise as a German manufacturer of P-47's;the rest is classified.

I am looking for information on Blackstone Army Air Base or the 533rd Fighter Squadron, which supposedly was stationed there in 1944. I believe this was a P-47 transition unit, but I would like to have this confirmed. If there is anybody who served there during WWII , I would love to hear from them! Thanks, Frederik

I just got a letter from the National World War II Memorial Commission asking for help in getting the construction of the Memorial back in gear. It has been stopped over technicalities associated with the former chairman of the National Capital Planning Commission continuing to serve after the expiration of his term. This technicality has allowed a group to file a lawsuit to prevent construction claiming that the Memorial will impede the National Mall in Washington, DC. Write to the current Chairman, Richard L. Friedman, of the National Capital Planning Commission, 401 9th Street, NW, North Lobby, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20576 or e-mail at info@ncpc.com before June 13th and urge them to ratify previous approvals and get construction back underway. The Veterans deserve this one. Lets Help! - Stephen C. Kirkup, Proud son of Lt. Col. Joseph K. Kirkup Deputy Commanding Officer 36th Fighter Group
