Captain Edwin O. Fisher from 362nd Fighter Group – 377th Fighter Squadron, in his P-47D, #42-26919, nicknamed “Shirley Jane III”, talking to another pilot.
Fisher had the distinction of shooting 3 V-1’s in wartime career. He got all of them on the same day, June 29, 1944. In a 35 day period (July 5th -August 9th, 1944), Fisher swatted down a total of 7 confirmed kills on Luftwaffe Me109s and Focke-Wulf Fw 190s to become the 377th’s only ace of the war. This photo was taken at Rennes-St. Jacques Airfield in early Autumn 1944, with an impressive tally on display!
