P-47D-6-RE "Lady Jane", UN-L (42-74750), na kterém létal nadporučík John Truluck u 61. stíhací perutě z letiště Halesworth v březnu 1944.
Truluck said of his P-47:
"I'll never forget how amazed I was walking around my P-47. I always thought a fighter should be small, sleek, very agile and fast, like a hummingbird, and from that perspective, the P-39 would be perfect. From that point of view, if the P-39 was a hummingbird, the P-47 was a seagull."
