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.

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 (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 (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.

He flew with a stray black cat?
Surely you don't mean in the cockpit?
:huh

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 (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.
