P-47 Pilots - The Fighter-Bomber Boys

This is a book about combat in WWII. It is also about patriotism, honor and plain old fashioned guts to do a job that had to be done regardless of personal sacrifice.. You will find P-47 Pilots The Fighter Bomber Boys takes you to a new level of warefare, one more personal, more emotional, a vicarious adventure you won't soon forget.. The P-47 Thunderbolt, America's largest and most powerful single engine fighter was waiting for us to take off. D-Day was waiting for us and so were the crack German Panzer divisions and Rommel's tanks. It was an challenge; however in less than a years time tie dedicated ground crews, air crews and Pilot's of the 9th Air Force had cleared the way for our troops in the ground to acheive total victory. A costly one, however, and many courageous young pilots would die in their cockpits before the end of this bloody war. . Who were these gutsy bastards - the Fighter Bomber Boys? What was our life like? Our numbers were probably no more than 3,000 yet the accomplishments were monumental. We flew "The Jug" and in it shot down more enemy planes that any other fighter in the course of WWII. The German's cursed us and General Patton praised us and considered us his most powerful single weapon. . I invite you to read all about us as I lived it, with the language, patriotic fervor and intense emotion of the time.
