s/n 44-13321, Capt. John M. Simmons Jr., 317th FS, 325th FG,
15th AF, Lesina, Italy, September 1944
John Mack Simmons, native of Gadsden in
Alabama, joined army reserves in June 1942 and
in January 1943 started his pilot’s training. After
the graduation he was dispatched to 317th FS
in the Italian theater. From the second half of
April, he flew P-47s with this unit, in May, the
whole 325th FG was re-equipped with superior
Mustangs. While flying combats during the
World War II, John Simmons shot down seven
enemy aircraft and after it he remained in the
USAF service. On January 18, 1961, he perished in
the T-33 crash during the final approach. Since
their African assignment the 325th FG aircraft
were marked with yellow-black checkerboard
painted on the tail surfaces to distinguish them
from the bombers they covered, and which gave
them the nickname Checkertails. The checkers’
dimensions were 10 by 10 inches. The plane
marked with number 27 carried the inscription
Devastating Dottie on the port side of the nose,
the starboard side sported the name Lady Janie
VIII as all the aircraft of crew chief Ebert.
