FRE 3090
The nose art of a P-47 Thunderbolt (5F-E, serial number 42-8693) nicknamed "Miss Margaret (Pee Wee)" of the 5th Emergency Rescue Squadron. Handwritten caption on reverse: 'June 4, 45. Debden, Essex. A rare shot of 5th ERS, P-47s. Note dinghy racks under wing.'
Roger Freeman Collection
Updated connections and deleted connection to Debden as I believe this to be in error, as is the date of June 1945. The photo is hardly that rare!
