The Squadron CO, Cel Nero Moura, did not like the idea and the customizations was promptly removed. Lt Miranda named his plane to his wife, Arlette, and placing a pin-up bellow the canopy. When the squadron received the airplanes in October, 44, few pilots decided to customize their planes. He flew very few sorties because he was the Squadron Inteligence officer. After evaluating the photograph evidence, I concluded that the name ARLETTE was in white, not yellow.ġst Lt Miranda Correa flew 8 combat missions during WWII. Link: P-47D - 1st Brazilian Ftr Sq - Jambock Arlette - 1st Lt Miranda Correa (update vs 2.2) Alberto Martin Torres died on December 2001 and as per his request, his ashes were dropped by plane over Rio de Janeiro Guanabara bay. He was a manager in several companies as Texaco, VASP airlines and founded in Brazil "BRINKS", an huge securities carrier and security company.
He retired right after the war as a Captain. At the point of the included picture, he had flow 30 missions. The airplane did not have an insignia under his left wing nor on the top of the right one. "TROZOBA" is a Brazilian slang that means something like "masculine organ" (but not in an offensive way). Torres used for a while the word "TROZOBA" on its nose, but it was removed later on. There is a pair of pictures of this airplane as portrait in this livery. If you are curious, see ĭuring WWII, Torres managed to be the pilot that flew the most sorties, a total of 99 offensive and 1 defensive (not included on his grand total). 43 german submariners died, but 12 survived, including the captain. On July, 31st, 1943, he sunk the German U-Boat U-199 with a Catalina named "ARARA" just south of Rio de Janeiro Coast. Before that he flew coastal patrol in Brazil.

This is the most download of my liveries so far. He took over this plane after the Flight Lead became sick. His plane was a Silver "A1" P-47D-30-RE SN 42-0854, callsign "Red One". Warrant Officer Diomar Menezes came to the squadron as one of the very few replacement and flew 71 missions in combat.

As I couldn't decided which one was the best, I decided to present four of them and let the judges evaluate them. It is hard for me to decide which livery to submit because I made a total of 33 liveries for the P-47, all Brazilians. I am amazed of the liveries level submitted so far.
