Dear P-47 pilots,
The Long, Long Ago Oral History Project is multilingual, multicultural oral history project based at Suva Intermediate School. We research, record, preserve, publish, and disseminate the history of the American West in a series of student-done, award-winning oral history magazines.
We are in the midst of doing a "World War II Veterans Oral History Series" and are interesting in contracting and interviewing World War II veterans. Because we believe that your members' memories are a historical treasure that should be preserved and an educational resource that should be shared, we were delighted to come across your website and are very interested in interviewing P-47 pilots. We hope that some of your members are interested in being interviewed and we hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Brooks

My father, William John Nisbett, Jr. was a P-47 pilot with the 511th Fighter Squadron. He earned a Distinguished Flying Cross and another medal which I have not yet been able to identify. (I'll keep trying!) Dad passed away on September 10, 1990 and I tucked his wings into his breast suit pocket before he was interred. I am very proud to be his daughter.

Hoping someone out there can help me find a needle in a haystack.
I am a volunteer with the Peterson AFB Air and Space Museum in Colorado Springs. We presently are restoring a P-47N (Serial number 44-89425). We are understanding that the grandparent of the host unit here at Peterson, the 21st Fighter Group, was briefly assigned P-47s when it moved to Guam following the surrender of the Japanese in WWII.
We are hoping that someone out there may have a photo of a 21st FG P-47 so that we may finish our aircraft in the appropriate colors and markings. Anybody out there?
My regular mailing address is: 12405 Oregon Wagon Trail, Elbert, Colorado, 80106-9033. Thanks for any help!!

Would like to hear from and/or correspond with other fighter jocks, WW II onward, who flew three or more combat tours. I know there were some who flew four, maybe more. High-mission guys, let's get acquainted, Jug jocks or other.

In memory of two great 406th guys who suffered unusual deaths. George McKeand, my buddy, bailed out, was seen to run into woods. Body found a few days later, executed with pistol bullet to back of neck, courtesy Sepp Dietrich's SS tankers. George was not the only 406th pilot who bailed and was executed. Levitt Beck was shot down by FW-l90, betrayed from French Underground to Gestapo, sent to Buchenwald concentration camp where he died just before l68 American and British airmen were transferred to a regular Stalag for duration. One American and one Brit died at Buchenwald.

Anyone looking for information on the 36th Fighter Group please contact me. We just had out 31st Reunion in Louisville, Kentucky and had a great time. Neal Melton flew the P-47D "Hun Hunter XVI" in for the veterans in attendance. Thanks to Neal, there were a lot of smiles on the faces of the pilots and ground crew that were there. Next years reunion will be in Austin, TX. Should be a great show!

Can anybody help me???
My father, Stuart Stallard trained in a P47 Thunderbolt with the RAF out in Africa as the war ened in '45. He gained his wings, flying the 'Jug' and was ready for Burma. Thankfully the war ended before he got there, otherwise I might not of been here to tell the tale!. He was flying with Tony Benn who later became a British minister in politics with the Labour Government. My father died in the early eighties, but I know little about his flying experiences with the Thunderbolt in Africa with the RAF. Can anybody help? Do you know him? Do you know about the Thunderbolts being used for training out iin Africa with the RA? Please put my mind at rest as I would love to know more info if you can help however small, my email is stallard@macunlimited.net
Kind regards Paul Stallard

Love the pilot stories on this site, there are terrific! Have visited back often, but no new stories in a long time. Why not? What a great forum to keep your memories alive -- I would really like to see more veterans and pilots take advantage. Keep up the good work ( and please add more stories to the site !!! ) God bless.

Hello heroes! It was with deep sadness that I read in the "Jug Letter" of the passing of my dad's (Lt. H.W. Strahlendorf, KIA 24 June 1944 Cherbourg) good friend, Ike Killingsworth. I met Ike for the first time during the Seattle P-47 Pilots reunion. We spent several hours together then and he related a few "stories" about flying combat with my dad, who I never knew since I was born two months after his loss. Ike became a sort of replacement figurehead to me. Over the past few years we had communicated via letter from our homes, several thousand miles apart. Ike wrote a dedication to the book I've been working on and I am so happy that I asked him to do this. I will never forget this wonderful Texan. He personifies my childhood image of a fighter pilot... always crusty and confident and at the same time caring about the world and what becomes of it. Rest in peace, Ike. I love you, Harry
