Пост 21 - это он же?

 

Ну вот бразильские знаки меня и сбили с панталыку. Спасибо за разъяснение. Кстати вопрос: а почему бразильцы свои машины не камуфлировали?

USAAF Capt. Dewey E. Newhart
"Mud N' Mules" Republic P-47D-15-RE Thunderbolt LH-D s/n 42-76141
350th Fighter Squadron, 353rd Fighter Group, 8th Air Force
Capt. Newhart was killed in action on the 12th of June 1944 during a mission over Northern France.
He was leading the squadron down to strafe an enemy truck convoy near Saint-Saëns, Normandy when he was jumped by 8-10 Bf.109s whilst flying a P-47D LH-U(s/n 42-26402) named "Soubrette", he was hit and radioed that he was attempting to make landfall.
Before he could escape, he was attacked by two more fighters, and was shot down and killed.
The pictured aircraft was re-assigned to Capt. Lonnie M. Davis who renamed it "Arkansas Traveler" but retained the mule artwork out of respect for Newhart.
