P-47, 42-7885

hello,
 
this P-47 crashed down on 8.03.1944 near Rahden. I am searching information, specially nickname and pictures of the plane and the pilot, 2ndLt Marcotte.

    I don't have any pictures of the plane, but the pilot was my uncle, Big Bad John Marcotte.  Just talked with him yesterday in fact, and he is pretty well (for an older gentleman).
