P-47D Thunderbolt (E.T.O.)

The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt undoubtedly plays an important role in the history of military aviation. The US single-seat, low-wing fighter-bomber was characterised by the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 twin radial engine with over 2,000 hp, which enabled it to reach considerable speeds, especially at high altitudes, and guaranteed exceptional operational flexibility. The P-47 was effective both as a fighter to escort bombers and as a lethal aircraft for ground support and attack missions. Extremely robust in its airframe construction, it was heavily armed with eight 12.7mm Browning M2 machine guns and could be fitted with bombs and rockets to increase its offensive capability. From 1943, it was successfully deployed by the United States on various operational fronts.
