Major Evans' P-47 Thunderbolt with only six guns. When they started using belly tanks for escorting longer missions they began running out of ammo. They removed the two outer guns in order to carry more ammo. This is his bird when he was flying for the 4th Fighter Group, 335th squadron. Note the Eagle Squadron insignia on the cowling. |
