The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt is an American fighter aircraft that entered service during World War II. Its first versions, designated P-47B, C and D in the "Razorback" variant, were characterized by a distinctive, streamlined fuselage silhouette with a high dorsal "fin." These aircraft were operated mainly by the United States Air Force, but also by Great Britain, France, and the USSR under the Lend-Lease program.

Entering service between 1942 and 1945, the P-47 played a key role as both an escort fighter and a fighter-bomber supporting Allied ground forces, participating in operations over Western Europe, Italy, and the Pacific. The "Razorback," referring to the characteristic dorsal construction, was used in the first series until the transition to the variant with the "bubble" canopy.

The MMP Books 78845 book presents rich iconography – high-quality archival photos, excerpts from technical drawings, and detailed illustrations.
