Historical Use of the P-47D Bubbletop Model

The P-47D Thunderbolt aircraft, especially in the “Bubbletop” version, was one of the icons of World War II. Widely used by the United States Air Force and the Allies between 1943–1945, it earned particular distinction during the Western Europe campaign as an escort fighter and ground-attack aircraft. The P-47D was recognized by its characteristic, highly glazed and rounded cockpit—hence “Bubbletop”.
