During
World War II, the story is any city
or county through a war bond drive
raised a total of $105,000, bought a
P-47, the front line fighter of the
era. Those who raised the
funds went to the plant and had
their name put on the aircraft, then
it was shipped overseas. This
plane wound up with the 56th Fighter
Group, the most famous fighter group
in the European Theater of
Operation. The time period was
most likely 1944. The man in
this photo is Capt. Joe Curtiss.
