Thanks JK.
Via AI
"Wolfpack" P-47s refer to the legendary 56th Fighter Group of the U.S. Eighth Air Force in World War II, commanded by Hubert "Hub" Zemke, famous for flying the robust P-47 Thunderbolt and achieving the most aerial victories of any USAAF fighter group in Europe, known for their aggressive "energy fighting" tactics and producing top aces like Gabby Gabreski and Robert S. Johnson. They operated from England, supporting bomber missions and ground attacks, becoming iconic for their P-47s and tough reputation."
I have his book "The Hub" pretty intensive reading.

they are also the only 8th AF Fighter Group that kept flying P-47's throughout the war.

Here's a few 56th FG paints I did for the A2A P-47D way back when in FSX times, why they never brought it to msfs I'll never understand
