P47 was a beast. Have you seen the short film the US Military made at the end of WWII about the Thunderbolt?
P47 was an excellent aircraft. Learned more about the from a friend who’s father flew one in WWII. We traveled to Millville, NJ for a racing event. It was a major training base for the P47. Upon entering the track, they had dioramas of a bunker with a scaled down 3/4 size plane in it. When walking the dirt parking area I found a spent 50 cal casing. This was in 2015.
Have you seen this one about the P-47 in Italy?
