A GA PILOT AND HIS PLANE
 AN AAF FIGHTER STATION, ENGLAND,JUNE 21
 CHOOSING A NAME FOR HIS AIRPLANE IS ONE THING EVERY PILOT TAKES SERIOUSLY. SOME OF
THEM MAKE A BIG EVENT OF THE CHRISTENING.
 A MAJORITY OF THE PILOTS OF THE ZEMKE GROUP,HIGHEST SCORING THUNDERBOLT OUTFIT IN
THE  EUROPEAN THEATRE OF OPERATIONS, DEVOTE MUCH DELIBERATION ON THE SUBJECT BEFORE
A DECISION IS REACHED. USUALL THE PILOT ASKS HIS CREW MEMBERS FOR SUGGESTIONS.
 MOST OF THE FLIERS AT THIS STATION ANYWAY FINALLY DECIDE TO NAME THEIR PLANES AFTER
THEIR WIVES, MOTHERS OR SWEETHEARTS BACK IN THE STATES.
 CAPTAIN FELIX D WILLIAMSON OF CORDELE,GA., CALLS HIS P-47 THUNDERBOLT'' GEORGIA
PEACH'' AFTER ONE OF THE FAMOUS PRODUCTS OF THE HOME STATE. CAPTAIN WILLIAMSON HAS
DESTROYED FIVE GERMAN PLANES IN AERIAL BATTLE AGAINEST THE LUFTWAFFE.
