Re: Photo-recce P-47 in Força Aérea Brasileira
It did not work.
However, I can affirm that from the books and magazines I researched, only 3 P-47D were thus modified ( to carry a K-25 camera ) on the left bomb pylon. I obtained photos for you. One of this aircraft was the P-47D-25-RE, serial 42-26756 flown by 1Lt Alberto Martins Torres ( aircraft codes A4 ) who flew 100 missions and was awarded the American DFC for sinking the U-199 while on an early Patrol mission aboard a Catalina of our Air Force. He is considered our TOP fighter pilot of WW2 and sadly already passed away. I do have some photos of him and his bird for you as well.
So, send me your e-mail, please, ok!
