When a squadron was issued "new Models", EVERYONE got them. No pilot had enough pull to "hang on" to an older model as this would cause repair/maintenance issues. When all P-47 units were issued the "D" model, all the Razorbacks were gone. As to the Liberators,they were the chosen plane for sea rescue account of their longer range. Although some Forts were used, they were far outnumbered by the Liberators.

 

Well, sorta, but, some where allowed to hold onto their early models.

For the invasion,everything that could get off the ground was utilized.

 

This pic was taken July 26 1944, well past the invasion date of June 6th. Only have of the stripes are still on, as per orders to remove them from the upper areas. All four aircraft where lost by the end of the war.
