Enjoyed the site. I have been trying to find out more about my uncle who was killed in WWII while a bomber gunner. Unfortunately, my father is no longer alive, and I’m not even sure what type bomber he flew. Just looking.

Enjoyed your site. I would encourage members to visit the museum site of the Pima Air and Space Museum. www.pimaair.com. The museum lacks a P-47 and would appreciate any leads toward obtaining a donated aircraft.

Nice site. As amateur historian trying to keep memories of ’ordinary’ P-47 pilots, 1Lt Dick Snyder (82FS/78FG) and 1Lt. Larry Goldwasser (360FS/356FG) alive.

Pilot 365 Squadron 358 Group. Patton’s St. Lo break-through on July 25 of ’44(Some kind of excitement), was a brilliant success but the General rushed so fast the Germans were able to counter-attack at Falaise (Southeast of Caen) and came close to cutting our forces off. We were going out in flights of four, attacking German positions, and back to the base for turn-around and out again. We stopped the German attack and Patton moved on. Some have said that at that moment, Patton could have destroyed the German western army. Are there any historians who have opinions on the subject?

This is for Leonard R Bennett and Lloyd Johnson. I want to thank you for your response. The letter I recieved gave me goosebumps and tears to know that two others knew my husband and flew with him. Thankyou so much. Bob Jones flew with Leonard Bennett in the 10 squadron, 50th fighter group 9th army. The information was so appreciated.

Best regards and prayers for good health to all American Pilots and Ground Crewmen who operated the P-47 in the ETO from myself and my family, including five children and nine grandchildren, none of whom would be here enjoying the freedom that we have without your patriotism, courage, dedication and self-sacrafice. God Bless you. Count Deiro

Hi -- Since my June 29 post below about my dad Donald D. Campbell (9th AF, 368FG, 369FS), my URL has become case-sensitive. If you’d like to have a look at those pics of my dad mentioned there, the corrected URL is http://www.geocities.com/~lrampey/old1.htm.

Greetings! I was a P-47 pilot during WWII and flew well over 100 combat missions with the 365th Squadron of the 358th Fighter Group, ’THE ORANGE TAILS.’ I joined the Group at High Halden, England, in June of 1944 and went with them all the way to our final airfield at Sandhofen (Mannheim) Germany. The last five weeks of my tour was spent serving as a forward air controller with the 63rd Infantry Division, moving on the ground from west of the Rhine to south of the Danube. Four other pilots and I were sent home just barely before the war ended and were passing through London on VE day. Last month I attended a Group reunion in Nashville and met ten pilots I had not seen since 1945, plus numerous other support group people, and strangely enough after 54 years we still instantaneously recognize each other. I remember seeing a query on this sign in board about Ripsaw 5. I remember very clearly being controlled in the air by Ripsaw 5 who gave us some very tough targets. Incidentally, my Email address was my wartime call sign. If anyone needs information that I might supply or just wants to chat, give me a buzz. Just don’t wait too long-I’m already past 77. Tallyho!

I have an interesting photo of a P-47 pilot who was ’downed’ and captured by the Luftwaffe gound forces. The unique thing is that the name of the P-47 is visible in the back ground. It was called Coffee’s Cup. If anyone knows who this was or has any information regarding this aircraft please E-mail me at hrwtrader@aol.com I would love to hear from you------Jeff

When I was on active duty stationed at MacDill AFB, FL my next door neighbor was Jack Oliver. He flew the Jug as a flying sargent on a War Bond Promotion. He crashed and was injured. Does anyone have any info on the War Bond Program and its pilots?

I tip my hat in the deepest appreciation for the men and women who flew this plane. I am a 28 year old who acknowledges the sacrifices you provided for me and my young family 50+ years after you did it. I came here to research the P-47 for model building, but more than that my wife and I are history buffs who are drawn to this era. God Bless!
