Two P47 ID's to tie up

[markjsheppard]

Hi all.

Trying to pin down a couple of P47 ID's

42-75272 D-11 RE
43-25272 D-20 RA

Nothing on Joe's serial listing site.

Unit they might have served with and I am also assuming that these P47's would have had an Olive drab finish.

I am also assuming wings etc can be removed and fitted between D models and RE/RA (Farmingdale/Evanville) built examples.

Any ideas?

regards

Mark

Mark,

According to www.littlefriends.co.uk 42-75272 served with 56th FG/61st FS with code HV-U.

It appears that most P-47s around serial 43-25272 have stayed in the US.


Regards,

Mark,
I found a couple pictures of -20 block 47's serving with the 318th FG in the Pacific.
You may want to try PTO and CBI unit sites etc. and see what comes up.

Good Hunting!
Mike
