About the P-47 Thunderbolt
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the heaviest single-engine fighters of World War II, powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine and armed with eight .50-caliber machine guns. It served as both a bomber escort and a ground-attack fighter-bomber over Europe and the Pacific.
