P47D Thunderbolt Collectible Airplane

P-47D Thunderbolt - Capt. Edwin O. Fisher. Credited with seven German fighters destroyed, Ed Fisher was one of only three aces created by the 362nd FG. He claimed five victories flying P-47D razorbacks before gaining his final two kills (both Bf109s) in this machine on August 9, 1944. Despite officially being credited with destroying four Fw190s and three Bf109s that tally carefully painted onto 42-26919 shows four Fw190s, one Bf109 and two Bf110s, as well as three V1s. Fisher's ground crew also meticulously recorded his strafing sorties against road transport and trains, with shallow dive-bombing missions and fighter sweeps all listed separately. This aircraft failed to return from a mission to Elmersdorf in October 1944.
