Sitting (L-R): Darrell McMahan, 62nd; Dayton Sheridon, 62nd; Norwood Douglas, 63rd; Unknown; George Van Noy, 62nd; Billy Edens, 62nd; William McElhare, 62nd; Dick Warboys, 63rd; Eugene Timony, 63rd; George Bostwick, 62nd & 63rd; Charles Tucker, 62nd; Alexander Ferber, 63rd and Robert Magel.63rd. Sitting in cowling - currently unknown. Standing (L-R): James Lister, 63rd; Joe Curtis, 61st; Michael Jackson, 62nd; Jack Pierce, 62nd; and Jackie Carwell, 62nd. (Identified by Dick Warboys, 63rd FS on a visit to the 56th FG Museum at Halesworth.)
Placed under the 63rd FS section but in fact containing pilots from all three squadrons. (See enlargement for details). Despite the upper fuselage invasion stripes having been removed from the P-47, which would roughly date the photo as July 44; Charles Tucker was killed on 22 June 1944 in a mid-air collision with Mark Moseley. Tucker was flying 42-75282 LM-J_. The photo must therefore have been taken either on or shortly before 22 June.
