Re: RCAF fly P-47 Thunderbolt during WWII?

Dear Klaus,

A quick look through my library has failed to find any use of the P-47 by the RCAF in WW2 or even after that time.

It could be that your Canadian was a French Canadian flying the P-47 with one of the Armee de L'Air units

Or he could be one who enlisted with the USAAF - perhaps he had a US father and a Canadian mother or vice versa which allowed him to enlist in the USA.

You may wish to give more details of where the aircraft crashed as this will allow others to help you too.
