S/Sgt Ray O Miller in Thunderbird Republic P-47 Fighter Group
FRANCE -- Once a jockey for one horse--now a groom for 2,200. That's S/Sgt. Ray O. Miller of Colorado Springs, Colo. Before the war, he was a free-lance jockey in Mexico for two years. Now in the "Thunderbird" Republic P-47 Fighter Group, he is a crew chief. The diminutive soldier, who stands 5'2" and weighs 104 pounds, is small enough to crawl into the cowling of one of the powerful fighter planes.
