My Dad was stationed there as a P-47 pilot at St. Trond [Google ''Sigma-Nu Girl'', 404th fighter group, 9th Army Airforce, Lt Charles Matheny] and was decorated by the Belgians after the Battle of the Bulge in the St. Lo area. He brought home ''souveniers'' from Belgium including 8mm film of a bombing run and some enlarged photos of targets destroyed during that campaign.
Your dad flew in the Battle of the Bulge? No ****. I got a copy of Hell Hawks for Christmas (about the 365th). Hell of an aircraft, not to mention the men who flew them who had some
serious stones.
Not everyone can go on line and find decal sets for their dad's aircraft: [link=http://www.brookhursthobbies.com/Product-Detail.cfm?P=SSIMS481161&N=10]P-47D decal set[/link]
