JDK Posted April 30, 2014 Share #26 Posted April 30, 2014 Very nice photos Dan! I've always been a fan of period photos. Thanks for posting them. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Driver Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share #27 Posted August 21, 2014 It's been quiet on the pilot photo front. Only one I've come across recently is this one of Lt. Louis Viecks, in his 395th FS, 368th FG, 9th AF P47D "Second Front". Note the relatively rare Malcom Hood on his Jug. Of course the RAF Type C is evident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backtheattack Posted September 12, 2014 Share #28 Posted September 12, 2014 Great pics. Think you would like the museum at Kovarska/Czech Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted September 12, 2014 Share #29 Posted September 12, 2014 Another Jug pilot. His early RAF Type C helmet is interesting to me as I'm not sure what he's covered the receiver cups with. Doesn't look like the usual tape job. You may already know this , the pilot in this photo is wearing the emblem for the 315th Fighter Squadron(2nd version) 1st version of the Squadron patch was Bugs bunny laying on cloud with machine gun , from the 324th Fighter Group. Also you may want to try posting your 'Unknowns" on facebook as they have a couple of P-51/P-47,P-38 etc pages, also on ArmyAirForces.com Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waltz41 Posted September 23, 2014 Share #31 Posted September 23, 2014 Got the chance to meet Frank E. Speer, from the 4th FG at a Reading WWII Weekend many years ago. He was shot down in May 1944. http://www.mcall.com/news/all-frankspeer-story.html#page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfixer Posted February 24, 2015 Share #33 Posted February 24, 2015 Lt. James Garrison 21st FG Mustang pilot dressed for the part. He flew Mustangs from Iwo Jima on the VLR Missions. I have his B-10 as the pride of my little collection.
