361st_Bugsy 1170 Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Hey Gents I spent the day looking at my created skins and decided to go over them with a fine tooth comb...I came across the 325th FG BIG STUD and noticed a couple of mistakes on my part so I took the time to create this final version of the beauty. I corrected the OD Glare to include the part behind the canopy and fixed the missing cowling paint. I also added the black wing lines to show it as in real life, finally I corrected the tail squares angles.. I hope you enjoy her she is now ready for combat...Salute!

WWGreyWolfe 31 Posted March 22, 2019 Salute All, Β I have finished my honorable work for Lt. Dolor A. Martin. I am touched even still after doing my best to find any information on this heroic pilot from the 360th squadron. The name on the starboard side of the cowling is his son, an nick name I'm guessing. Β Dolor Martin was a pilot of a Republic P47D Thunderbolt of the 356th Fighter Group of the American Eight Air Force, based in Martlesham Heath, England.Β Β On November 11th, his unit was tasked to provide support to a withdrawing formation of B-17 bombers that had attacked a marshalling yard near MΓΌnster, in Germany. In the vincinity of Ede, Dolor Martin was engaged in an aerial battle with German fighters and was shot down.Β Β 'Stewpot' crashed due to aerial combat with 3 Luftwaffe fighters.Β He died for our freedom. Β I stayed with a clean P-47D with little weather and wear. I felt important to honor the pilot this way. Thanks Grippen7 for making this suggestion, I hope you honor him with this humble attempt to share in this.Β Β http://www.mediafire.com/file/rd48cbb5vw5evrp/P-47D-28_4k_DA_Martin_PI-M.rar/file Β Salute WWGreyWolfe Β Β Β Β Β Β 4 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far I have only found a photo of the nose section. I have a book at home about aircraft crashes during the whole second world war in this area. See this link to this dutch bookΒ about the air war above the dutch town of Ede and it surroundings. https://www.bduboeken.nl/2014-11-24-08-12-45/oorlog/item/226-luchtoorlog-boven-ede You can buy the book for around ten Euro's. https://images.boekwinkeltjes.nl/large/gnTM7KLNeGggVQVid3mp.jpg Β Best regards Grippen7 Above Ede a lot took place during the Second World War. Aircraft of allied air forces, which flew in large formations towards Germany to carry out bombing, were attacked from the ground by German anti-aircraft guns and in the air by the aircraft of the Luftwaffe. Around fifty planes crashed in the Gelderse Vallei from both the Allies and the Luftwaffe. This book describes sixteen of the allied crashes; their journey, type of aircraft, their purpose, the crash itself and its consequences for the often very young crew, which also highlights the role of the Edese civilians and the resistance. On 17 September 1944, however, Ede itself became the target of these allied bombers. Three violent bombings took place with far-reaching consequences for the population. These bombardments, carried out by Americans and British, were part of the Market Garden operation. 69 civilians were killed and many injured. Ede was a small community at that time and the consequences for the population were enormous. As a schoolboy, Evert van de Weerd went through the Second World War in Ede. The events have left a deep impression. He often wrote several books together with Peter Veldheer and / or Gerjan Crebolder about the liberation of the Veluwe, including Ede in Wapenrok. Author (s): Evert van de Weerd Number of pages: 204 ISBN: 978-90-8788-099-6 Β Β Β Β Β Β Β DearΒ Β WWGreyWolfe, Β With the "Battle of Bodenplatte" extension, we can also fly above the actual crash location in the IL2 simulator.
