As I said in another post, my father flew both P-38s and the P-47D. In
1943 the 49th Fighter Group had pretty much worn out their tired and
well used P-38Gs, so the 9th FS got P-47D replacements until fresh
P-38Js and P-38Ls arrived in late 1943 when the P-47Ds were reasigned
to other units.

Here he is with his P-47D "Bigasburd" at Dobodura, New Guinea, 1943.
