Maybe somebody here can answer this. I wonder how a P-47 would stack up against a skyraider AD-1? I realize we are talking two very differently designed airplanes. The former was an attack aircraft originally designed to operate off carriers. Certainly not designed as a fighter, whereas the P-47 was a fighter-bomber.
Correction, this sentence should read: the latter (the AD-1, not the former, the P-47) was an attack aircraft originally designed to operate off carriers.
