Bridge Busters by Anthony Saunders.


Bridge Busters by Anthony Saunders.

With orders to destroy, delay or disrupt enemy forces en-route to the Normandy battle area, P-47 Thunderbolts from the 78th Fighter Group launch a blistering high-speed, low-level attack, on a German freight train in occupied northern France, June 1944. Desperately attempting to transport vital supplies to the front by daylight, it has fallen prey to the cannons and bombs of the eagle eyed Thunderbolt pilots.

American fighter Ace Robert S Johnson is depicted in his 56th Fighter Group P-47 Thunderbolt with codes HV-P named 'Lucky'.  Of his 27 victories during a tour of 89 combat missions from April 1943 to May 1944, he scored 21 in this aircraft.  The joint sixth top-scoring American Ace of WW2, he was notably the first US pilot in the European theater to better the historic WW1 victory total of Eddie Rickenbacker, the top-scoring American Ace of that war.  Post-war, he became a test-pilot and retired in 1962.  He died in 1998.

Tribute to Robert S Johnson by Ivan Berryman.
 These Republic P-47D Thunderbolts were operational with the 82nd FS, 78th FG based at Duxford during the final months of the war in Europe.

Duxford Pair by Ivan Berryman.
 Flying his Messerschmitt Me109G6, Major Gunther Rall, Group Commander of II./JG11 with over 200 air victories already to his credit, clashes with a P-47 Thunderbolt of the 63rd Sqn, 56th Fighter Group high over the Rhine south of Koblenz, May 12, 1944. Led by Colonel Hub Zemke, the 56th Fighter Group played advance guard to a deep penetration bomber raid to central Germany. As his forty eight P-47 Thunderbolts arrived to sweep the sky around the Koblenz - Frankfurt area, the Me109s of II./JG11 pounced from a 5000 feet height advantage. Simon Atacks high-impact painting shows Major Gunther Rall bringing down Hub Zemkes wingman, the first of two victories he claimed before himself being brought down by 56th Fighter Group P-47s later in the combat. Gunther Rall returned to combat flying, commanding JG300 until the end of hostilities by which time, with 275 air victories, he became the third highest scoring Ace in history.

Eagle Strike by Simon Atack.
 Flew Thunderbolts and Mustangs with the 56th Fighter Group in England, claiming 20 victories over Luftwaffe aircraft.  He then served in the Pacific and claimed a Japanese aircraft to add to his total.  After the war he stayed with the Air Force, claiming 3.5 MiGs in Korea before being shot down and taken prisoner.  On his release he rejoined the Air Force.  He died in 2010.
