Two paints for the A2A Jug that I'm working on:
#39 was the P-47 Lt Gwynne Peirson of the 302nd FS, 332nd FG was flying when he sank a minelayer in Trieste Harbour, together with wingman Wendell Pruitt in june 1944. Both men received the DFC for this action.

2Z-D "Raid Hot Mama" was the aircraft flown by Lt John W. Drummond of the 510th FS, 405th FG. He was shot down flying another aircraft on 26 july 1944 while strafing german guns emplacements, and finished the war as a POW. Raid Hot Mama was also shot down a few days later, while being flown by another pilot. Lt Drummond became a legislator for the South Carolina Senate, and I believe Senator Drummond is still alive today.

Looks magnificent, just had a "I need to get that P-47" moment, but it´s sadly not the time for it... ;)

Bloody lovely Jan , the reason these were such hot targets , the Luffwaffen pilots wanted those pretty girls plastered on their walls :jump:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setT imeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
