Nice, Clave!! I know the pilot that flew a thunderbolt for the Mexican Air Force. They never saw air combat during WWII, only ground attack roles.

Hazardous enough job for all that... :shock:

I like the P-47, it shows a pragmatic approach - 'lets get the biggest damn engine we can find, and stuff it into a fighter, and see what happens' sort of thing... :mrgreen:

Just went to a air show over the weekend where the featured plane was the thunderbolt

[koala]

Nice pics. I noticed that on some of the actual aircraft photos the US star is only on one wing, not both?. Was there a reason for that?

[BadKharma]

The "Jug" was an interesting plane. I am surprised you did not include pictures of the Razorback version also. Also the ones pictured with the extra dorsal bracing are most likely P-47N's not D's.
