Historical Background of the P-47 Thunderbolt Model

The P-47 Thunderbolt is an American fighter-bomber from World War II, used in the years 1942–1945. It was utilized primarily by the United States Army Air Forces, but also saw service in the RAF and other Allied air forces. The aircraft became renowned on both the European and Pacific fronts as an exceptionally rugged fighter-bomber and an effective escort.
