After 1 minute, 48 seconds I recognized an aircraft with familiar nose art, “Keg o’ My Heart”. It was my Dad’s aircraft and the nose art was a play on the popular song, “Peg o’ My Heart”. I am not sure who the individual was standing next to the airplane but my Dad may have known him. Dad was in Europe from Christmas 1944 through Aug 1945. I watched the entire film looking for my Father and did not see him although I remember him talking about the making of this film.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Doug Leamon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> AlaskaRC [<a href="mailto:alaskarc-bounces@lists.alaskarc.org">mailto:alaskarc-bounces@lists.alaskarc.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Steven Lingle via AlaskaRC<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, January 18, 2015 5:47 PM<br><b>To:</b> ARCS<br><b>Subject:</b> [AlaskaRC] P-47 in Europe - WW II<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><p class="MsoNormal"><br>Long, but excellent video on the Jug.
