Greetings, I am the USAF representative to the web portal, http://military.com and lead the newsletter and discussion groups. My father, Robert Dow Jackson, entered the RCAF in 1941 in Ontario and received his wings. I am not sure but I believe he eventually flew P-47s but that may have been after RCAF. He is deceased (1967). I am attempting to find any records of his service while with the RCAF. He was eventually posted to Europe in WWII and later joined the Army Air Corps. I know this is a shot in the dark, but do you recommend any sources where I might find records of his service in the RCAF. His only note of this service is “AVLMER, Ont, Can – RCAF Plt Tng – Dec 41”. Thank you, Scott “Stoney” Jackson USAF Rep MILITARY.COM

Looking for owners of restored Jugs. My father, Henry (Mac) Davidson, was a pilot in WW11 in the Pacific as well as a gunnery instructor. Is there an organization of P47 owners?

My father, Roland Fulton Newill, was, we believe, a ground crew sergeant in the 356th FG, 361st Fighter Squadron at Martelsham Heath. This is based on great help from Ben Jones at researchers@B24.net identifying the skeleton-water-skiing-on-50.-cal-machine-guns insignia on a photo showing portraits of dad and about 12 others with names and ranks but no unit ID other than the skeleton. Since we have other photos showing dad with 500 lb bombs, we were sure he had been at a bomber station, not a P-47 station. We will squeeze the family photo piles for other photos, and appreciate any information you might have about 356, 361, or Martelsham Heath.

I wanted to leave a short post to any/all of the members of the P47 Pilots Association referring them to another site, http://www.angelfire.com/ks/phxbrd/index.html. This site commemorates the fatal crash of an entire class of newly commissioned P47 pilots from Bruning Army Air Field in Nebraska. My uncle, 2nd Lt. Bernard W. O’Malley, was one of these pilots. I thought some of you may find it interesting.

FRENCH DOCUMENTARY COMPLETED - 371st FG / 404th Squadron The documentary about the last year of the war in Europe was completed late in 1999 and broadcast on French television on Dec. 15th. An English translation has been produced, and Jacques Besson, the creator, is attempting to raise interest in this country to have it broadcast to the American people. I have a copy and the effort put into this production is excellent. This is a true P-47 story, with all archival film footage. It shows not only the story of the 404th Squadron’s last months of the conflict in Europe, but of the true horror of war. If you know of a way to help Jacques raise interest here in America, please contact me via e-mail.

I have some informations about and the crash sites in south of France. If there is any particular information I can provide please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your Help

My Dad, Earl ’Bud’ Krueger, crewed P47s with the 91st Fighter Sq. in North Africa and later in China. Dad is 85 now and I know that he would love to get back in contact with any squadron mates who may be out there. If you served in the 91st, or know someone who did, please e-mail me. Thanks.

Walter Schroder was great in helping me find eyewitnesses to my capture in Germany after bailing out over a small town. I recommend him without reservation. It is also very interesting.

I have been assisting families of WW-II crashes over Germany get a line on the fate of their relatives, by seeking out eye witnesses, etc. To date several families have gone to Germany to visit the crash - burial sites and speak to witnesses we have been able to sniff out. Want help? E-Mail: WKSCHRODER@aol.com
