Capt. Eugene W O'Neill. Long Island, NY. 62nd Fighter Squadron. P-47C 41-6347 LM-O "Li'l Abner". Photo shows later change of Li'l Abner cartoon on same aircraft. This a/c certainly gave great value for the tax-dollars spent on its purchase. Following service with the 56th, it went on to serve with the 495th FTG and ended up post VE-Day with the 55th FG to provide transitional training for deployment to the Far East - see 55th FG gallery.
