One of the most successful aircraft of World War Two was Republic Aviation's big and tough P-47 Thunderbolt, aka "Jug". This beautifully restored survivor was photographed at the Mid-Atlantic Aviation Museum's annual air show in Reading, Pennsylvania. Built in 1945 at Republic Aviation's Evansville, Indiana, plant, its long history includes service with the Peruvian Air Force and one crash landing in Tulsa when its engine got real quiet on take-off. Not good. Its actual serial number is 45-49295 but it's painted to represent 42-26671 as flown by Capt. Benjamin I. Mayo, commanding officer of the 82nd and 84th fighter squadrons.

Although I don't call myself a photographer, I have taken thousands of photos through the years and now and then I end up with one that is printworthy.

PLEASE CLICK ON AD TO LEARN ABOUT THIS SITE I'm fortunate enough to have enjoyed a rather varied background in marketing, advertising, public relations, print and electronic media, TV production, and publication design in both corporate and non-profit organizations. As my list of photos on Fine Art America slowly grows, it should be apparent that my interests are all over the place, from the sight of beautiful flowers and landscapes to aviation and high performance...
