About the M3 Lee Tank: The Medium Tank M3 was an American tank used during World War II era. This tank was called "General Lee" named after General Robert E. Lee. Produced in 1939, the M3 Lee was the first U.S. medium tank designed with a 75mm gun. The main weapon a lower-velocity 75 mm gun was in an offset sponson mounting in the hull, with consequent limited traverse. A small turret with a lighter, higher-velocity 37 mm gun was on the top of the tall hull. The M3 Lee served proudly from 1942-1943 before being replaced by the M4 Sherman.

About P-47D Razorback:
Nicknamed "JUG", the P-47-D was one of the most important and most produced fighters of the American Air Force during the WWII. Although the P-47D was the largest and heaviest single-seat aircraft to see service in the Second World War, it became a high speed and high altitude capable fighter when powered by the huge 2000hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800 "Double Wasp" engine and a unique supercharging system. Shaped with a sharp upper ridge, the early types of P-47D were given a name "Razorback". During the war, the Razorbacks served as striking fighters and sometimes escort fighters of the allied bombers when conducting raids over Germany.
About the 47th Fighter Squadron:
The 47th Fighter Squadron was activated Dec. 1, 1940, as the 47th Pursuit Squadron, one of three squadrons assigned to the 15th Pursuit Group, Wheeler Field, Territory of Hawaii. The squadron also flew missions from Hawaiian stations of Bellows, Haleiwa and Mokuleia Fields, as well as Barking Sands.
The 47th Pursuit Squadron participated in numerous campaigns from 1940 to 1945, flying P-10, P-26, P-36, P-47 and P-51 aircraft. The squadron was inactivated Oct. 15, 1946, at Wheeler Field.
Currently, the 47th Tactical Fighter Squadron, under the 917th Tactical Fighter Group at Barksdale AFB, La. On Oct. 7, 1996, the 47th's mission officially changed from combat to A-10 pilot training. The school currently graduates about 40 active-duty, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve students per year.
