I aquired this small group last year, it included about 300 personal photos and many personal items. It belonged to Lt. Leslie Thompson, later Captain Thompson. He was a pilot in the 405th FG 509th FS. Some of the pictures are amazing and I am glad I have the chance to preserve and share them. There are shots of him in 2 different P-47s and a P-51. His P-47s were named THE VIRGIN and I have pictures of him in both planes.Also there are photos of other planes and pilots in his squadron. At some point late in the war he went on to fly in the PTO.
