Colonel Laughlin understood that the pilots were only as good as their grounds crew; without them they would never get off the ground
Description
An account of the resource
Colonel Laughlin, pictured here with grounds crew members of the 379th Fighter Squadron, knew he could rely on his men to do their jobs. He often credited the success of the group to the men who never got the glory because without their skill and expertise in repairing and arming the planes properly, the 362nd Fighter Group pilots would not have been able to perform at the best of their abilities. The only known member of this crew is crew chief Sergeant Raymond J. Chodor, pictured far left.

An account of the resource
This picture shows Colonel Laughlin and his crew chief, Sgt. Chodor, talking before Laughlin prepped for flight. There had to be a lot of trust between a pilot and his crew chief; not only were they responsible for the overall maintenance of the plane, it was up to the crew chief to help guide the pilot towards the end of the airstrip for takeoff. The way the pilot was situated before takeoff, he could not see the ground in front of his plane.

An account of the resource
Captain Rarey's renderings were very important to Colonel Laughlin and the airmen of the 362nd. Colonel Laughlin was so enamored with his nose art that he asked his crew chief to salvage them off of every plane he flew. His crew chief, Sergeant Chodor, dutifully replaced the cowl covers and nose art on every P-47 Colonel Laughlin ever flew. Although no one knows what happened to the original nose art, Captain Rarey kept copies of his illustrations in sketchbook journals. The original sketch of Colonel Laughlin is also in this collection.

The P-47D that sits in the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, was painted to represent the P-47 flown by Colonel Joseph Lyle Laughlin, Five by Five. The museum's curator, Jeff Duford, put forth several pilots for the honor, but after reading <em>The Art of Wing Leadership and Aircrew Morale in Combat</em> by Lt. Col. John J.

The topic of the resource
Captain George Rarey's original nose art on Colonel Laughlin's first P-47
Description
An account of the resource
The cowl color of P-47s fresh from the factory was black. They did not require a new color until they were to enter combat. However, Colonel Laughlin was so enamored with his nose art that he asked his crew chief to salvage the cowl off of every plane he flew. His crew chief, Sergeant Chodor, did just that. His cowl color would change to yellow when the 379th Fighter Squadron became active combat, and at the end of the war would be checkerboard yellow, blue, and red.
