WWII 8TH AIR FORCE 352ND FIGHTER GROUP ACE - DONALD BRYAN SIGNED 8x10 B&W PHOTO | eBay
The P-47C, 42-8381, was assigned to Major Donald S. Bryan and coded PE-B. Maj. Bryan named it in honor of his wife who was rather petite, as he did all of his personal fighter planes. The name was retained when the aircraft was reassigned to the 3rd Gunnery and Tow-Target Flight at East Wretham, after being declared "war weary". It retained it's standard ETO markings over the original Olive Drab/Neutral Grey paintwork. The name, Little One, on this P-47 came from Maj. Bryan when it was his plane with the 352nd Fighter Group, 328th Fighter Squadron at Bodney, U.K.
