I am a Marine Chief Warrant Officer who is the son of a P47 Thunderbolt Pilot. My father (Izzy) flew with the 56 Fighter Group, 63rd Fighter Squadron in WWII, he has since passed away, I was just thinking of some of the great stories he used to tell about the plane so I decided to check this web site out. Thanks, this is a great site.

It's sad that someone person or persons doesn't have the pride our gumption to at least put their name on their entry.
However this is a site that reflects the knowledge and searches for information that people ned for a closure in their live or to clear up a historical matter.
Please who ever you are place your name in your entry or just quit playing around.
THANK YOU

I am 30 years old and have always been interested in World WarII. Unfortunately our schools don't think this is an important enough part of history. I never spent more than a few days in any history class learning what our soldiers, pilots, and seamen really went through. I would be interested in hearing from any North Carolina natives who flew during the war. God bless you all. You are the last true American heroes.

My wife's uncle recently passed away, his name was Ike Killingsworth of Longview, Texas. She discovered he was a WWII fighter pilot who flew the Republic P-47. We would like to know more about him, if anyone knew him, or about him we would appreciate being directed to any information about his service during WWII.

Greetings
I am attempting to locate anyone who may have flown withor have any information regarding my Uncle Rudolph Marko.
Rudy as he was known, was a Hungarian kid from Cleveland
Ohio, and flew a Republic P47D named JULIA during WWII.
He was shot down and killed over either France or Belguim
I believe in 1944. He was a 2nd Lt. and a wing Comander.
His body was returned via the Red Cross, and he now rests
in the veterans section of Calvary Cemetary in Cleveland
Ohio. He may have spoken of his little brother Steve (my
father, now deceased) who was serving with the Marines at
the time.He won the Distinguished Flying Cross and four Oak
Leaf Clusters prior to his death. He was last seen diving on
some nazi tanks in a treeline, and was never seen again.This
is all the information I have, and any help finding more
would be greatly appreciated.PLEASE feel free to contact me
by e-mail rmagyar21@yahoo.com, by telephone at (216)663-3985
or snail mail Bob Magyar, 14704 Brunswick Ave. Maple Heights
Ohio, 44137. I never knew my Uncle, but when my Grandmother
died in 1979 she called out to her beloved son, now they
belong to the ages. I wish to honor my Uncle by assuring
he will not be forgotten by the generations to come.
SEMPER FI Bob Magyar

Just got in from the Warbirds Airshow in Asheboro NC. 2 Jugs dropped in on the festivities, and just completely made the day. Didn't catch where they were from, but one was named Hun Hunter. I have some digital captures, E-mail me if interested.

Hi, I served in SAC as a B-47 co-pilot in 1957 and 1958. At that time my aircraft commander of our air crew was a Capt. Glen E. Stribling who was a P-47 pilot in WW2. I would like to hear from anyone who knew Glen Stribling when he was flying the P-47.

One hell of an airplane, from everything that I've read,and it compares to other WWII fighters like a bulldozer to a Bobcat.
