September 1944: MAJ Shannon Christian (front row, 5th from right) and his pilots of the 351st Ftr Sq, 353rd FG, Raydon, England. The P-47 is peculiar in not having the group's trademark black & yellow checkerboard, which became standard by April of that year. This may actually be a 9th AF ship, as the 353rd was involved in training some of those pilots in "Thunder-bombing" ground support operations.
