Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "Razor Back"
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
high altitude as bombers.
Armed with eight 12.7mm machineguns, the Thunderbolt, with the P-51
Mustang, 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 robustness made the Thunderbolt the perfect
aircraft for ground attacking missions.
