56th Fighter Group in World War II

Some photographs from George Nunemacher's archives, courtesy of Sam Sox Jr.

George was the assistant crew chief on Maximum Goose/Barbara Ann II
which was assigned to Walter Gordon.

Crew chief on this 62nd FS P-47 was Albert Holliday.

The aircraft was transferred
to the 9th USAAF in mid 1944,
and a section of the cowling, complete with artwork
survives to this day.

Watch George telling the story
of his time with the 56th FG,
and later with the 352nd FG
