"The P-47 Thunderbolt, nicknamed the Jug, served the United States Army
|
|
Air Forces (USAAF) in World War II with distinction. In total 15,636 were built
|
|
between 1941 and 1945. France, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, Mexico and
|
|
Brazil also operated the P-47. It was armed with an impressive eight .50-caliber
|
|
machine guns with 425 rounds per gun. In addition the Jug was armed with bombs and
|
|
rockets and it excelled in the ground attack role. The P-47 also served in the bomber
|
|
escort role before the introduction of the P-51 Mustang which had longer range.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powered by an R-2800-59 Double Wasp turbocharged radial engine, the aircraft enjoyed
|
|
exceptional power and durability. The Jug substantial weight gave it tremendous
|
|
dive speed acceleration but the aircraft suffered from quite low Mach limits and
|
|
hence the aircraft was equipped with dive flaps to avoid dangerous effects of compressibility.
|
|
The bubble canopy of the D version of the P-47 provided excellent all round visibility."
