Hey all!

Hope you can help, Im searching for any pictures of P-47's when they were stationed inside Connecticut. I'm looking for:

1. Wartime shots (Like 56FG P-47's) before they went overseas. These would have been based at any of the USAAC bases throughout the state (Especially Stratford to protect the factory incase of attack)

2. Post war CT ANG Thunderbolt shots when they were based up at Windsor Locks.

Any help / leads would be great! I've found about five shots so far and all of them aren't of great quality or aren't consistent with one another. Also any information to help me refine my search would also be beneficial. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the links. Some of those shots I haven't seen before. But still not helping me enough. I'll keep searching!
