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!

I’ve just learned of your web site from Clayton Kelly Gross, a P-51 Ace friend. We have an organization here in the Portland, OR area, called the Oregon Old Bold Pilots. We’re just that, Old Bold Pilots, and we’d like to welcome P-47 pilots and anyone else afflicted with that incurable disease called ’Aviation’ to join us for lunch the second Wednesday of every month. See our website at www.transport.com/~bobm/OOBP.html for info. Malmstrom Air Force Base, Great Falls, Montana was named in honor of Col. Einar Malmstrom, my father’s cousin, who commanded the 356TH FG (P-47s), 8th AF during WWII. Einar’s son Jim Malmstrom lives in Santa Fe and can be reached at SANTA_FE_SWEDE@prodigy.net

My father was in the 86th FG in Germany just after the war. The group was nicknamed LEE’S LUIETENANTS and flew P47s. At that time they were in the 9th airforce.. I think there were 3 squadraons under the group; the 525,526 and 527th) Could you tell me more about the group and/or any reunions you have had or plan to have in the future?

My Grandfather Flew P47’s in the ETO. He was Captain Wayne A. Brainard. He was in the 56th FG 62nd FS. He was in England from Jan 7, 1943 to Aug 2, 1944. I am looking for a documentary which contains footage of him. It’s called Ramrod to Emden. There is also a book by Hubert Zemke that he was in which describes how he helped bring in a buddy who was coming back to base with a crippled plane and my grandfather and another buddy put their wings under his wings and brought him in. I don’t remember the name of the book, but it was written by Hubert Zemke. If anybody knows anything about how I can get a hold of a copy of either of these, I would really appreciate it. You can email me with information at jugp47@yahoo.com. Thank You Gentlemen. Eric Brainard

Since several years, I try to identify a P47 crashed down in France, 1 mile east of Boulogne sur mer, in summer 1943. An old inhabitant of the area had seen the crash, the pilot baled out , landed at a short distance of him and disappeared into bushes along a hill. He did not know if this pilot had been taken pow by germans later. He pointed the exact place of the crash. However the soil was very wet. A lot of 50 rounds were found just under the surface and specialy parts of ammunition feeders and also parts of two m/g, broken and twisted. Fortunaltly their numbers were still readeable : 357 393 et 357 815. But unfortunatly, since all these years, I have never found a macr with these two numbers. From some others macrs, I think that they belonged to an early type of P47. could somebody help me in this search? Many thanks Jean Pierre DURIEZ FRANCE

I entered this note previously but your page is filled with new folks, just discovering this great site who might be able to help. I am attempting to locate survivors of the 4th Fighter Group, 334th Fighter Squadron, or those who might have gone through training with him( he cracked up a P-40 while training at Randolph), who might have known my uncle, Flt. Off. William Anson Cox, who was killed 2/3/44. Squadron entry reads: COX, William A. - Flt. Off., 334th FS, KIA - Near Emden, Germany, 2/3/44. Separated from his element leader Winslow Sobanski due to clouds and icing. Not seen to go down. P-47D 42-75254 QP-X. Thanks to anyone who might help. (Sobanski was KIA June 44)
