A nice photo of some P-47s on the continent following D-Day, yes, but what got my interest was the Spitfire in the background which, from what I can find, belonged to the U.S. Navy, VCS-7. Story here...Spitfires of the US Navy — Articles | 1944 | history | Spitfire Mk. V
Cool!
Also some info here ... USN VCS-7 Spitfire Mk Vb
A VCS-7 pilot, ENS Adams , was the first Naval Aviator to land in France when he landed his damaged Spitfire at an auxiliary landing field in France

1945 photo, test pilots (from left) Mel Gough, Herb Hoover, Jack Reeder, Steve Cavallo and Bill Gray stand in front of a P-47 Thunderbolt. The photo was taken at the then-named Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory, which was a research facility for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or the NACA.

A pair of P-47D-22-RE Thunderbolts is led off by element leader, most likely Lt William J Davenport Jr to whom 42-26042 LM-G was assigned, with his wingman in 42

A fine close-up view of Lt Russ Kyler's P-47M 44-21116 HV-J 'Lorene' with Russ being strapped in by crew chief S-Sgt Van McGehee.
