Historical Description

The P-47D Thunderbolt is a single-engine fighter and fighter-bomber aircraft produced by Republic Aviation. It was one of the largest, heaviest, and most heavily armed fighters of its time. The aircraft officially entered service in the early 1940s and was intensively used during World War II, especially between 1943 and 1945. It took part in numerous operations over Europe and the Pacific – including the French campaign after the Normandy landings and in campaigns against the Luftwaffe.
