Dan'l Boone
« on: January 12, 2014, 05:32:05 AM »
10thmd asked me to skin this razorback Thunderbolt as it was flown by his great uncle Colonel Boone, who was related to Daniel Boone of the Alamo fame. The aircraft is a P-47D-21 of the 333rd FS, 318th FG for which our D-11 is considered an acceptable substitute. After a spell guarding Hawaii, the 333rd moved to Saipan on an aircraft carrier where they attacked targets on Guam and Tinian.

Good looking skin.

A quick trip down memory lane, Brother Boone was famous for being a Tennessean. A member of Congress, he ran for the US Senate and upon learning of his defeat he told his naysayers "they could go to H***, he was going to Texas!" And thus, the Alamo beckoned.

Here's a super high res photo I have in my collection of that plane, taken earlier I'd guess from the OD vertical stab.  I'm curious if you found a copy of this photo during your research?

Great skin, as always.

That is usually attributed to Davy Crockett.

10thmd supplied me B&W photos of both sides of the front of the aircraft, plus the serial number and the link to the colour shot above, but I wasn't able to find anything on the back half of the plane. Thanks for the photo Cactus, I'll alter the skin to match it.
