50th Fighter Group's P-47
Hi,
I am looking for information on a P-47 of the 50th FG whose nose art was "PEE WEE". This P-47 was with the 50th FG in ALG A-10 Carentan. Olliball |

Do you have a picture of the nose art you could post? There may be some clues visible.

Do you have a pilot's name?

Re: 50th Fighter Group's P-47
The reference to PEE WEE may have come from this (search for Pee Wee):
https://fonfasite.files.wordpress.co...up_issue13.pdf One of the squadrons of the 367th FG was also based at ALG A-10 (which was where the 50th FG was based). No mention of a pilot's name or a photo of the plane. |

The only reference to a P-47 named Pee Wee on this site are 42-74695
http://p-47.database.pagesperso-orange.fr/ http://p-47.database.pagesperso-oran...e/42-7xxxx.htm and a mention under 42-8693 http://p-47.database.pagesperso-oran...se/42-8xxx.htm Same plane here as well. http://www.americanairmuseum.com/media/4663 http://www.americanairmuseum.com/media/34569 |

Thanks all for your replies.
Unfortunately, I've no picture of this P-47. I am the author of the 367th FG's newsletter and in my issue # 13 I have mentioned Mr. Gidon whose mother was doing the laundry for Pee Wee's ground crew. I would like to find for Mr. Gidon a picture of this P-47 and it's pilot name at the time the 50th FG was stationed in ALG A-10 Carentan. Olliball |
