I grew up in Bridgeton, New Jersey. There was an Army Air Base at Millville about nine miles from Bridgeton. I was a teenager at the time. Are there any of you Jug pilots who flew from Millville during the war?

Hi, my name is Brian Anthony and I am a senior at West Point currently researching my history thesis on the effectiveness of tactical air support during WWII in the ETO. I am looking for any opinions, stories, records, or even other people that would be willing to share these things with me. Since P-47's played such an important role this seemed the best place to start. I can be reached at x12374@exmail.usma.army.mil or 845-515-2882. Thank you!

Thanks for the site. I'm only 30 years old, but I've always loved the history of WW2. I especially like the War Birds P-47's & P-51's, since the age of 5. I have been to Oshgosh, WI many times with my father; I never left the war bird section. I have fond memories of the old birds, two in particular, the P-47 Big Chief & the P-47 Little Demon. I loved them both. I would give anything to fly in one of the P-47's. It would be a dream come true for me. I've read many books about Robert(Bob)Johnson and the U.S. 56th Fighter Group. It would have been a very different experience for me to have been there when you were living through it. Thank you

My father Jack Graham flew the P47 in N. Africa and Italy during WWII. He was in the Skeeter squadron. He has died and I am seeking any information on his wartime experience. Any help or info appreciated.

Hello. This is Arnol Sellars, a P-47 pilot from the 27th FG,
522nd Sqdn. I was suprised about the report in Nov, 2000, that mentioned me getting shot down over Germany. This has caused me to get connected with a lot of people who were
interested in that mission, Including Guenter Beck, a
German war historian, and some of my old squadron mates.
What a wonderful thing the internet is ! Arnol Sellars

On a recent visit to Evansville Ind. I learned that several old pilots there had tried to get a P-47 as they were made there during WWII in what is now the Whirlpool factory next to the Airport.. I understood they had no luck. If anyone knows how they could get one please advise. Is there a generous soul out there to get them one.??
I see where there are only 6 flying. I would think they would love even a restoration project.
Many thanks to all of you who flew, and provided the sacrifice for freedom.

My immediate interest in the P47 stems from the fact that one of my Meals on Wheels clients was a WW2 P47 pilot with two DFC one Air Force Cross and the Purple Heart.
He flew with the 79 Fighter group and was with either 85 86 or 87 squadron.
Are there any books or pictures of this aircraft available for the 79 group?
This gentlemen relates to me some of his wartime experiences flying the P47 during groud support operations.Being ex RAF myself though not a fly boy I really enjoy his wartime stories and wish I could record them. He is 86 years young and is not in good health and I am scared that my association with him will not last to much longer. I know that I will miss him terrible.
He continued with the Air Force for some time after the war since he did fly the F86. He was a Major when he was demobilised.

I so well remember seeing the P-47s from Bradley Field flying over my town during WWII. I was very involved in a memorial service which we conducted in 1995 at small memorial in the Farmington, CT Memorial Forest which honors the memory of 2dLt. Vincent Core. Lt. Core crashed at this site on April 11, 1945 and was killed. As a result, I had the good fortune to meet Lt. Core's sister, Claudia Civitella, who was in attendance at our invitation. We have become very close friends since then. I greatly admire all of you who flew that beautiful airplane in defense of our country.

I'm trying to locate someone who flew with (and possibly knew) Claude R. O'Brien (deceased) who was a First Lt. in the Army Airforce during WWII, with the 404 fighter bomber squadron station in England in 1944.
Hope you can help.
Thanks
