Sydy Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Hi guys! Here the Jug factory never stops! Another one: A bit of History: The First Brazilian Fighter Group was created in 1943. The training was performed by the Forward Echelon in Florida, then as a Group in P-40s in Aguadulce, Panama, and Suffolk, New York, flying P-47s. It had a Squadron size. During the World War II , the Group was attached to the 350th Fighter Group in Italy as the 4th squadron (1944-1945). It was based initially in Tarquinia and later in Pisa. Due to low on replacements, the pilots extended the Tour of Duty until the war end. "Jambock" was the callsign used by the Brazilian Fighter Group during the war and still is in used today (flying F-5EM and F-5FM). "Jambock" name has an Indonesian/South African origin (sjanbok or Sambok) and means "animal skin or wood whip". It was a kind of whip. About this Livery: The livery is as historical as possible. 2nd Lt. Fernando Correa Rocha flew 75 missions in combat finishing the war flying this aircraft, Silver "B5" P-47D-28-RA SN 42-29265, callsign "Yellow Five" flying most of the time wing to Cap.Pessoa Ramos on his "Yellow Two". After the war he flew airlines at "PANAIR of Brazil" flying DC-3, DC-6, DC-7 and retiring on DC-8s. TAM Airlines Museum (now closed) has a B5 built from other P-47s parts, but the livery is magnificent. This aircraft was flew by W.O. Poucinhas prior to be assigned to 2nd. Lt. Rocha.
