Finally getting around to scanning my vacation pictures, and I want to label them as accurately as possible.  

The P-47: What version is it?
The aircrew:  The brown guys look like American bomber crewmen... was the fighter flight gear the same?  The RAF guy, I've got no clue.  He kind of looks like the fighter pilots you see in Dark Blue World.  

Any help would be much appreciated.

Because there was a rope that I wasn't supposed to cross.  And old retired men who would have kindly asked me to go back on the other side.  :D
