cool, did he earn his dolphins while on the sub??

I heard of a Navy pilot who did that... was rescued by sub and couldn't get back to base because it was more important for the sub to stay out on patrol than return the pilot. He was put to work on that sub and ended up earning his dolphins. Would be kinda funny to see an army dog with wings and dolphins.

Well, one more question. About the "Block Numbers" the -11 came from two manufactuers, RE Farmingdale and RA Evansville. However, both RA and RE Block numbers are the same, -11! Is the dash number a change in sequence rather than model? For example to try and better explain myself. The P-47 is the model with a major change to be: P-47C or P-47D. What would be the diff in the P-47D-10 and P-47D-11? And why did they skip -7 thru -9? plus a few others?

after he got on the sub they got into safe territory and called a Pt.boat to take him to his squad.
