See, a Black Patch, as seen in other photos in ACUs

Nice group of items! To get more information you're going to have to give more information, such as much of his name and other known information that you have in front of you.  The paperwork is way to small to make out any information.  Thanks...Matt

A Variant of the now titled 88th Readiness Division, Grey Green with Black Boarder, seems the standard one is Solid Black.

Interestingly, this P-47 is painted along similar lines as other late war 509th Fighter Squadron aircraft— with alternating color of the cowl flaps, as well as the painting of only the front exhaust door. I DO NOT have Sizzling Susie documented as a 405 FG or 509 FS aircraft… so I would definitely be interested in any additional photographs of this ship you may have. In addition to any others for the 405 FG or 509 FS you may have in your collection. Love it!

Same as above for this one, too. I will do some digging to see if I can’t ID this pilot.

I’m not entirely sure of the identity of this particular 405 FG pilot. But the style matches similar photos I have of 405 FG / 509 FS pilots that you previously posted. I will do some digging to see if I can’t ID him. It’s proved difficult in the past since these guys ages ridiculously fast during the war— what they look like in their pre-war portraits vs. what they look like after a few months of combat can be completely different!   

I found this collection on a great site and couldn't pass it up. His name is Cpl. Lohr and become a Lt. Look like he was a prison guard after his service. Here is a photo of what I bought. It was a wonderful price. Would love to get any information on him. Thanks for looking.

Wonderful portrait! Great find! Congrats
