Re: Info on Photo
The first pic you posted was as identified by Kaki ~ September-November crash site for a 78th FG P-47D. I'm away from my references so can't comment on the pilot of the crashed Jug.
The second pic is a very narrow time interval photo and drawing of the same P-47D between June 6 and approximately July 7-10, 1944. The D-Day invasion stripes were painted completely around the fuselage on the eve of D-Day and the 8th AF issued an order on July 7 to remove the top half of the fuselage stripes and the top of the wing invasion stripes.
All invasion stripes were removed in the late October to mid November 1944 timeframe.
