Finding registration P-47 Thunderbold (msg id: 2203)
I am searching for a registration of a P-47 who was crashed in Germany.
The plane must lay on the bottom of the Laacher See nearby Koblenz.
I haven't any information about his registration and the date when he was crashed.
I hope that anyone can help me to find these information.

My greay uncle Jay (msg id: 2198)
I am 34 years old and have been a big WW2 history buff since high school. I am interested in all aspects of the war and find it very facinating. I am most interested in the Nazi history of WW2, but please believe me when I say that I have no sympathy nor do I support Nazism in any way. Anyways, My grandpa was in the U.S. Navy during the war and was stationed in Hawaii, although it was after December 7th, 1941. As far as I know, he did not see any action. A few years before he died, we got to talking about the war and he told me something that I had not known before. His brother (my great uncle) was a P-47 Thunderbolt pilot with the 365th fighter squadron. Anyways, my great uncle was on a mission over France in July of 1944 when he was jumped by about 50 ME-109's and FW-190's. He did not return to his base that day. I don't know if it was unusual to be jumped by that many enemy fighters in mid-1944, but my grandpa gave me a copy of the report that was filed when my great uncle Jay did not return from his mission, and the report clearly states 50 enemy fighters. Anyways, a French farmer saw my great uncles plane falling toward the ground and quickly ran out to the aircraft to see if my great uncle was still alive before the Germans got to him. He was dead before he hit the ground. My grandpa and this French farmer were in contact with each other until shortly before my grandpa died in 2005. The guy in France sent my grandpa photos and pieces on the aircraft through the years. The local community where my great uncle was shot down even made a hand painted dinner plate with his airplane, etc painted in great detail. I guess they have alot of respect for my great uncle. My great uncle is buried at Normandy. I forget what squadron shot down my great uncle, but my grandfather told me that he thinks he was able to figure out the name of the German pilot who shot my great uncle down. There is a book out titled "The 365th Fighter Squadron in World War II" by Kent Miller. In the book, my great uncle is mentioned as well as the squadron that shot him down. Anyways, I thought I would share this story about my great uncle, a man I never knew, but am extremely proud of and proud to share his name. I am trying to find information on my great uncle. If anyone can tell me anything about him, I would appreciate it very much. His name was Jay Thomson. His ID was 0-674346. He was a First Lieutenant with the U.S. Army Air Forces, 365th Fighter Squadron, 358th Fighter Group. He died on July 14th, 1944 and is buried at the Normandy American cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. His grave location is Plot B, Row 13, Grave 13. Some of his awards were the Air Medal with 9 Oak Leak Clusters and the Purple Heart. He flew the P-47 Thunderbolt in 25 missions with 50 sorties.

Cardwell Dixon (msg id: 2195)
Hi, I was just browsing the internet when I came across your website for the P-47 Pilots Association. Didn't know it existed. Just signing in as a visitor and look through the site. My father, Cardwell Dixon flew P-47's over the european theater during the last few months of world war two and was shot down over St. Nazire(?), where he became a p.o.w. for the last three months of the war. Growing up over the years I've gotten several stories from him concerning that time of his life, including his last flight and the time the engine quit coming over the English Channel, forcing him to ditch ("that was the loudest silence in the world when that damn thing quit running!!"). He's now almost 87 and still has gumption, despite having a severe stroke a few years ago. Thanks for this chance to express our gratitude to these pilots who laid their life on the line for our freedom.

Missing Air Crew Reports online (msg id: 2189)
I came across an article in Stars and Stripes that discussed a website that has released a large WW2 collection of photos and documents. All these documents are searchable online. My great uncle was a P47 pilot and was shot down over Germany on Feb 14, 1945, I was able to find his Missing Air Crew Report that had a first hand account on how he was shot down by ground fire and where the crash site is. The site is www.footnote.com. My great uncles name is 2LT Willard G. Nagelstadt. I would love to hear from anyone that might have known him. He flew with the 362 FG/377 FS. He trandferred into the 377 FS from the 379 FS and had a single confirmed kill (ME-109).
This report answered many questions for me and I hope it can help others in their research.

Lt. Berlin's lst flight (msg id: 2188)
I am working on a report based on information from a German source. A then 9 year old German boy who witnessed the crash of a P-47. He and older boys pulled the dead pilot from the plane. He was so traumatized by the event that he always thought of the flyer and wondered what ever happend to Lt. Alpheus Berlin and where he found his last resting place. Based on the information I received from Germany I and on a lot of internet research I was able to find out what happened.
