Gabby's Jug questions
I am looking for scale info for a radio controlled project.
I need pictures and any other information for a UP-47 D-22 (SO/NO 42-25864) that Frances Gabreski flew. If anyone knows of any pics or text relating to this please let me know. One specific question. I have seen pics of kill markings on Gabreskis plane, anyone know if they were put on BOTH sides of the aircraft? thanks David Ithaca, NY |

In the Challenge "special" magazine Thunderbolt Aces from circa 1988, there is a picture of Gabby's ground crew with the D-22 in the background. I'm pretty sure the kill flags were only set on the port side of the fuselage. Gabreski "wrote" that he personally hated the kill flags and would have prefered to forego them, but realized they were important to the morale of his ground crew.
