Re: Photo-recce P-47 in Força Aérea Brasileira
OK, it seems that worked now! Uf!
First picture: Brazilian Air Force WW2 Medals and Flying Crosses ( Rio de Janeiro Museum )
Second photo: Graves of Brazilian Air Force 1st Fighter Group pilots KIA
Third: The K-25 installation on the left bomb pylon. It seems it was home-made, as we can see some kind of door below!? ( photo on an Article published by Jackson Flores, in Air Enthusiast N.61 of Jan-Feb 1996, pg 14 )
Fourth photo: 2 Lt Pedro de Lima Mendes ( in the middle ) flanked by his aircraft´s maintenance crew. It was this pilot who hand-made the Ensign of ALL P-47 D of our 1st Fighter Group ( the famous SENTA À PUA emblem ). He was a very capable painter ( ? do not know if this is the correct word )...
There are more, but huge in size...I will repost them tomorrow for you, ok?
Hope to have helped...if you can, I do know that some 1-48 scale decals of some SENTA à PUA P-47 D are made in Brazil. I can try to find out the site for you...
All the best Larry!
Please call if you do need more...I will try to post some colour pics here for you from a Museum not far from home..
