Re: P-47 P-47 Thunderbolt "battlin beaut" 341st Squadron
Thanks udf. I have a little more information. A USAAF accident report shows that P-47D 42-8183 was involved in a taxiing accident at Port Moresby in August 1943. Pilot was C.J.Blend. I have had another look at the photograph I have of "battlin beaut" in 1944, and although it is not perfectly clear, the serial number appears to be 275942. The number 9 may not be correct, but I'm confident the rest are OK.
