P-47 Thunderbolt Pilots Association

The P-47 Thunderbolt Pilots Association was made up by people in 1956, which flew the plane prior, when it was removed from Air Force administration. The P-47 Thunderbolt Pilots Association was separate in 2006. The association was established after Republic Aircraft, who fabricated the P-47s, facilitated a reunion for 873 pilots in May, 1961 to commend the 20^th commemoration of the first Thunderbolt flight in May, 1941. P47Pilots.com is committed to preserving the collections in the memory of the men and women who flew the P-47 Thunderbolt "jug" in World War II. P47Pilots.com has developed throughout the years from a basic brochure site to a dynamic and rich asset of stories, data, and cooperation. P47Pilots.com is a living remembrance which will keep on growing for long time to come. The motivation behind the association was to revere and propagate the memory of the P-47 and its pilots. It served to proceed with the comradeship of the pilots who flew the Thunderbolt, the best aircraft of World War II. The Association distributed a Jug letter quarterly and held a yearly reunion in an alternate city in the U.S.A.  Reunions have additionally been held in London and twice in Paris.
