USAAF 348th FG, 360th FS, "Bonnie", William Dunham Dinghy' Dunham scored his first seven victories in a P-47D-2 called 'Bonnie' but by late 1944 had moved onto a P-47D-25 also call ed 'Bonnie' and now extravagantly showing a host of kill markings. As the 348th FG's second most successful ace, Dunham almost certainly scored his final four P-47 kills in this particular fighter. He left his beloved 460th FS in mid-December 1944 to become assistant group operations officer, prior to returning home in January 1945 to attend a gunnery course. He re-joined the group in May 1945 to find the P-47's replaced by Mustangs and it was in one such P-51K called 'Mrs. Bonnie' that he scored his sixteenth and final victory on 1st August. Show more
