78 th FG HACK

Similiar to this P-47 – photo ‘snatched’ from ebay (unsuccessful auction bid).

Thanks DCW, this photo did not come from the link you gave,(but thanks for that), as for copyright??
None what so ever!!!

David, the (somewhat controversial) Ethell archive does not hold the copyright to most of the photos listed on it. I’m sure a quick Google search will reveal more.

The photo comes from the Jeffrey L Ethell collection, and is probably in copyright. The website offering the image is at:

The caption reads:

A visiting liaison plane, this converted P-47D veteran ser# 42-27606 was retired from the 82ndFG after 4 months continued service. She was modified in November 1944. This places the photograph here as early 1945, for on the 10th March, this plane suffered landing gear problems and had to make a belly-landing. However, she was put back on her feet, repaired, and was then painted all-over dark blue.**

Not Atcham, sorry!! Just been mooching found a French site P47database seems to have some history apparentlycalled “Babs” at some time.

What about Atcham?
