Survivors from Europe

edit

Hello, is there any information about the Dottie Mae from Austria we could use for the article?

Just now "Underwater Admiralty Services" (UAS) is searching in the Ammersee lake for a P-47, crashed after the war (Das Rätsel um das Jagdflugzeug im Ammersee). Another search in the Starnberger See was canceled: Flugzeugsuche abgeblasen, the P-47 with markings "D3" and "Werknummer 433058" was recovered earlier in the 60's and wrecked.

Another survivor?

According to the Wiki article on the B-36: "AF Ser. No. 42-13571 – in the private collection of the late Walter Soplata in Newbury, Ohio.[58] This was the first prototype to be converted to the bubble canopy used on production B-36s. It was on display in the 1950s and 1960s at the former site of the Air Force Museum, now the National Museum of the United States Air Force, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. When the museum's current location at Wright-Patterson was being developed in the late 1950s, the cost of moving the bomber was more than simply flying a different B-36 to the new location and the aircraft was slated to be scrapped. It was cut up at the old museum site by the summer of 1972. Instead, Soplata bought it and transported the pieces by truck to his farm, where it sits today in several large pieces. The bomb bay currently contains a complete P-47N still packed in its original shipping crate." (Emphasis added.)

If so, shouldn't this be added to the list of P-47 survivors? 73.186.162.89 (talk) 02:37, 23 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
