About the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback"
The P-47 was the first single-seated fighter to be equipped with a
supercharger paired with a 2000hp engine,
allowing it to fly at the same very high altitude as bombers. The P-47
was armed with eight 12.7mm machine guns.
With the P-51 Mustang, the Thunderbolt constituted the main fighters of
the US Army Air Force.
This is the representation of P-47D early production that was nicknamed
"razorback" because of the shape of its upper fuselage behind the
cockpit.
The P-47D was a high-speed, high-altitude capable fighter and escorted
the allied bombers that were conducting raids over Germany.
Its 1-ton payload and its robustness made the Thunderbolt the perfect
aircraft for ground attacking missions. |
