I am looking for some good pics of P-47s that served with the 325th…hopefully Steve will see this…thanks! Basically- for the Tuskegee build I am doing an OD/NG Jug-- the Airmen inherited these from the 325th- and quickly overpainted the checkertail with red- but left fuselage codes alone as they were…so I was hoping to get an idea what this may have looked like…
Here’s some pages to take a gander at, they should give you an idea as to the codes…
325th Fighter Group “The Checkertail Clan”
325th Fighter Group - Unofficial page of the “Checkertail Clan”
325th Fighter Group Association
I’d have provided some more but my scanner is acting weird.
Oh, I ran across this not too long ago. I dunno if you have it already, and I know it doesn’t help you with the codes but I thought you’d be interested just the same…
Fade to Black…
Thanks Steve!!
I have seen that pic of Gen. Davis before-- but had forgotten where so it’s all good!
These sites are great…I wonder if they kept the nose art painted on as well?? My book doesn’t mention anything about it…I sure wish there was more info on Tuskegee Jugs than there is…
