For too long now the most famous P-47 fighter group has been without a dedicated website.

This has all changed with the launch today of a new site dedicted to the 56th Fighter Group


The site contains a full roster of 56th FG personnel, a complete mission list, video interviews with 56th FG members, Memorial photos, Then/Now comparison photographs and much more.

Great homepage.

Thanks for sharing.

That's a superb site !! There goes another 2 hrs of modelling time

Hey Nige, I was thinking of doing Russ Westfall's Anamosa II for the Dressed to Kill Campaign, or is RAF Green over NMF just too close to OD/NG

Cheers, D

Probably just assuming that you are Nige, being the P-47 oracle

Thankyou everybody for the messages of support and encouragement.
Since the site was launched the response has been amazing.
Work is continuing loading content onto the site, infact today alone there have been over 200 photographs added,
many of which are being shown for the first time.
Due to the frequency of updates right now an RSS feed isn't practical but it is certainly something that we will be looking into setting up.
Please subscribe to the mailing list for now to ensure you don't miss anything and also to find out more information
about what you can expect to see on the site in the future.
Once again, many thanks for the support!
