Hello all,
I am building a P47 WISH LIST SKIN page and I am looking for the ORIGINAL 63rd FS Insignia.. not he one with the Panther on it.  The original had a a guy riding a lightning bolt with a machingune mounted on the lighting bolt.  Anybody that can help would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS
Gorf

This is one I restored awhile ago. I got a few pretty much unusable pictures of the original logo.

Hey Gorf, could you post the URL for your P-47 site?  I'd love to see those skins!  (oop . . . Freudian Slip   )

BTW Gorf, the first one you have is the squadron emblem for the 487th FS/352nd FG, "Meyer's Lil' Bastards".

The emblems for the other three squadrons are at our website.  The link is in my signature.

The 352nd flew P-47D Razorbacks from Sept 43 to Apr 44.

Thanks for the compliment Gorf.  All the credit goes to Joemac, who fly with the 328th FS.

And for some really nice artwork:
 

- This was from the P-47D of Lt Robert Berkshire of the 487th FS.  HQ felt that this was too risque' and made him change it  .
