Well,.......make that 3 more.......LOL. Undecided

Just a note.....these shots were of the P-47D_30 and I realize Gabby's plane was a P-47D_25.....however the texture files are on the 25 so will work in that one (KM's P-47).

For starters he was an ace during WW2. Then I think he also became an ace again during Korea.

This link is to a site which lists medals awarded to Gabby and a whole lot more. I would fill up the forum trying to list his accomplishments myself. http://www.56thfightergroup.org/HisTest/indexalt.html

Nice, very nice. I've added this to my P-47 collection. I've seen the post in CFS2 forum regarding this repaint and I would just like to say, I think it's fantastic and a fitting tribute to a great ace.
