I just found this page today and am very excited to learn of it. I first want to thank all who served for making the world safe for my generation. I am looking for anyone who knows anything about my great uncle, Col. Dixon M. Allison. I have Uncle Dick’s flight logs and files. He was C.O. of the 48th Fighter Group from a period of training in late 1943 until shortly after it arrived in England in April, 1944. He remained with the group until being transferred to SHAEF in November, 1944. I believe he usually flew with the 492nd FS. If anyone knew Uncle Dick or has any information to pass along, I would greatly appreciate it. He was also the C.O. of the 52nd FG of the 12th AF in North Africa from Nov. 1942 until March 1943, flying Spitfires. I would also appreciate any information about that outfit. Thanks very much, David W. Kirk Home email is davidkirk1@home.net Office email is dwkirk@carterkirk.com

I’m finishing off a book on the Brittany Campaign, and am trying to find men who served in Brittany. Specifically looking for anyone in the 378th Squadron that may have known Captain Harry Stroh, or know of a photo of him.

It has been great running into your site. I just recently read Bob Johnson’s book ’Thunderbolt’. I really enjoyed it and was sorry to hear he had passed away in Dec. 1998. I have been an airplane buff practically since I can remember. A few years ago I had the great pleasure to meet and have a talk with Bill Dunham. One of the great aces that flew the Jug in the pacific with Neel Kearby. Bill died a short time after that. If anybody out there knew Bill those days in the south pacific it would be nice to hear from you. The best present I got this past Christmas was a copy of the painting depicting the FW190 pilot saluting Bob Johnson after he was unable to shoot down Bob’s crippled P47. Keep up the good work and thanks again for this site.

Salute to all you Jug drivers who helped to make the world a better place. If any of you WW2 Thunderbolt pilots would like to see ’your’ plane in action, visit my site, http://www.kvi.net/~majorlee and check out my PaintShop. I can replicate your P47’s paint scheme, and you can put it into the flight sim ’European Air War’, and take off into the virtual skies. Feel free to contact me there. See you over the Channel, Ken.

Greetings! I just came upon this site today ... Hubert ’Hub’ Zemke was my great uncle, and by most accounts, a great man. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but he has been a hero-figure for me for about the last 35 years, since I was a young child. If there is anyone who served with him or knew him socially, I would greatly appreciate any information or memories of him (or photos!). Also, I am searching for a copy of the painting entitled ’The Hunter Becomes The Hunted’, of Hub’s and Gunther Rall’s famous dogfight (it’s by the same artist who did ’A Pack of Trouble’) ... my late father purchased a signed and numbered copy at a gallery opening in Carmel Valley that I accompanied him to in about 1990 ... after my father’s passing, my Wicked-Witch-of-the-West stepmother (Delia Zemke) offered to sell me the painting for a cool $1500 in cash (Dad had paid about $600 for it, and had made it clear that it was to be mine after his death) ... that was beyond my means ... anyway, GREAT site and I hope to hear from folks who have memories, tales or anecdotes about Hub ... also, I have heard that Hub was who the Edmund O’Brien character was based on in the old movie ’Fighter Squadron’ (any truth to that?) ... and to ALL of our fighting men who served in WWII, thank you for saving the world ....... my E-mail at work, for anyone who cares to respond, is ZEMKE.MARK_L@PALO-ALTO.VA.GOV ..... Thank you, and Peace ....

My Father (Lt.Col. Howard K Minnick) flew P-47’s with the 460th Fighter squadron in the Phillipines and New Guinea. Although I have never had the pleasure of flying one, I have seen both the razorback and the bubble top models fly and have even sat my unworthy butt in the cockpit of each. The sound of the engine is incredible and I still get excited just thinking about it. My dad loved the ’JUG’. Long may this wonderful aircraft and the men who flew them live... Thanks for the freedom fellas.

I have a newspaper photo of an American Pilot standing in front of a P-47. The Pilot has been identified as Lt. Hugh D. Chapman of Sharpsburg (WV, MD or PA). Lt Chapman was credited with 3.5 ’Nazis’, his first while defending bombers. I would appreciate any information on his group, squadron, or dates of service. Thanks in advance.
