I have to imagine combat flying puts your body through the paces. Anyway thanks again for your service.

If your Grandfather is alive thank him for his service. The Germans treated American POW’s decently. The P-47 was an awesome aircraft that was as good fighting against aircraft in the sky as hammering the German ground forces. Most P-47 were shot down either because the pilot was green (less than 10 combat missions) or attacking highly guarded targets (airfields).

WWII was an incredible war that almost defies belief. Your grandfather was part of that incredible generation.
