P-47D-25 Elsie

As best as I can tell, this IS a historical skin. The P-47D-25 “Elsie” was flown by, Major Clay Tice Jr, commander of the 507th squadron before it arrived in England in April 1944, and he stayed with the squadron until October of that year by which time the squadron was operating on the European mainland from bases in France and Belgium. Tice was a rarity amongst the 404ths pilots in that he was already an experienced combat fighter pilot from the Pacific Theatre with two accredited victories over Japanese Zeros. In France Tice was one of the first pilots in the 404th to receive a P47D-25, the new Bubbletop design. He had flown both the P38 Lightning and the P51B Mustang, and in the early days at Winkton he had a stated preference for both these aircraft over the P-47 Thunderbolt.
