    Default PTO 348th FG P-47s

    This is perhaps a little offbeat, since decals for the 56th Fighter Group are probably foremost in the minds of most of us looking for Thunderbolt decals, but I'd like to see markings for the 348th FG's Pacific P-47s. The 348th was still flying razorbacks well into 1945 in the Philippines; when under Neel Kearby's command and fighting over New Guinea, the groups' Thunderbolts were wearing olive drab over neutral gray colors, but later, when the group had moved to the Philippines, natural metal finishes were the norm, and red tail stripes reminiscent of prewar markings were in vogue with the group.
