CAPT. ED FISHER'S P-47D
American Legends
Credited with seven
German fighters destroyed, Ed Fisher was one of only three aces created by the
362nd FG. He claimed five victories flying P-47D razorbacks before gaining his
final two kills (both Bf 109s) in this machine on August 9, 1944.
Despite
being officially credited with four Fw 190s and three Bf 109s destroyed, the
tally carefully painted onto 42-26919 shows four Fw 190s, one Bf 109 and two Bf
110s, as well as three V 1s. Fisher’s groundcrew also meticulously
recorded his strafing sorties against road transport and trains, with shallow
dive-bombing missions and fighter sweeps all listed separately. This aircraft
failed to return from a mission to Elmersdorf in October 1944.
