Robert Johnson's P-47 - skins
« on: April 27, 2008, 09:50:22 AM »
Hi, I'm not sure about this, but I think that I've seen a skin for one of his Thunderbolts in a screenshot somewhere.  If there are any skins for his planes, would anyone be willing to provide a link to them, as I'd like to try and use them in offline missions.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Yossarian,  sorry I'm a little late getting to you on this subject.  Sadly I have some bad news though.  Johnson flew P47B's, C's, and the D-21.  Not the models we have in the game.  Here is a link showing you his P47's:http://www.cradleofaviation.org/history/aircraft/p-47/5.html

If I may offer a suggestion.  Another P47 pilot that was truely amazing was Fred J. Christensen Jr.  He flew in the ETO and finished the war with 21.5 victories.  He flew the C's and the D-25's.  Christensen was known to fly with a stray black cat he found on every mission.  The cat's name was "Sinbad".  Link of several P47 profiles: http://www.stephenmudgett.com/products.html

I'm positive that we don't have any skins of Christensen's P47D-25.  Good luck to you.

Surely you don't mean in the cockpit?

  He most definitely did! http://books.google.com/books?id=80M51n8bJbcC&pg=PA53&lpg=PA53&dq=fred+christensen&source=web&ots=iqmW6SHR_Y&sig=OHecaTzJxIYhJ5X6ht6ptYpjsLw&hl=en

Christensen was an amazing pilot that rarely gets mentioned.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

EDIT: Just found the screenshot, it's the second one down.
