I fly a sim and favor the P-47 over any other plane because of it's energy, high speed handling and armament.

I was adopted in 1942 and last year learned of my father Capt. Lee Willis of the 9th Air Force 10th FG, 50th FS, one of your fellow P47 Association Members. His plane was named (AKSARBEN) Nebraska spelled backwards and his group called him Pappy. His brother, Gerald (Dale) Rose, whom some of you know from reviewing video of your San Antonio Reunion, has provided me with information regarding fathers service years and I have meet a half brother in Denver who also has provided additional information. I would like to hear from any of you who may have known my father. I can be reached at Larry D. Kness, 3841 East 12st Avenue, Thornton, Colorado 80241, or Email rmevambulanc@rmi.net or phone 303-254-9854.
I had planed on coming to this years Reunion but am unable. Please let everyone know of my inquires and God Bless you all.

My father, Fred Christensen, has asked me to send out a request. Does anyone know where I can get a small lapel pin of a P-47 razorback? He lost everything he owned in a fire and we are trying to replace all the things that were dear to him. Thanks for your help.

I am truly honored to be able to ask a question in this website. Does anyone know anything about the Pre-heater which went under the shell near the engine, to help warm up the p47 Thunderbolt faster for take off? My father worked on that project, and I sure would like to speak with someone who knows anything about it, anything at all. Thank you, and God bless you all.

I am a member of the P-47 pilots association. I flew 113 combat missions in Italy 1944-45, with the 57th Fighter Group, 64th Fighter Squadron. I would like to hear from any who graduated in class 44-C, Craig Field, Selma AL. Although most of the responses on this page are from those who flew out of England, it still brings back fond memoiries of a great airlpane and, a greater group of guys who flew and serviced them!

I have been a big Jug fan since I was a
boy during WW2. I watched Bob Johnson of the 56thFG fly over my house in 1944 and one of my fondest memories is of
meeting Francis Gabreski and his autographed book is a prized possession
of mine. Long live the memory of of one of the greatest airplanes ever.

On May 13, 2001 at 10:00 PM EST The History Channel in the U.S. plans to air the film Thunderbolts, Conquest of the Reich. The footage in this film was shot from March 1- May 15, 1945 and was shot on color 16mm and 35mm Kodachrome film stock. The USAAF 4th Combat Camera Unit shot this film. The film was made on the orders of General Hap Arnold. The 365th and 362nd Fighter Groups appear mostly in the film but other groups also appear. The film covers the last 2 months of the war in Europe as seen by the Thunderbolt pilots. Four pilots who appeared in the original film were interviewed for this History Channel presentation to comment on the action taking place. The film is dedicated to all the Thunderbolt pilots who flew in Europe during the Second World War. All the footage in this film is presented in its original color form and has not been colorized. This film was not released by the USAAF after the war, now for the first time see the Thunderbolts in action over Germany in COLOR.
