Description
The P-47 Thunderbolt, also known as the "Jug", was the largest, heaviest, and most expensive fighter aircraft in history to be powered by a single reciprocating engine. It was one of the main United States Army Air Forces fighters of World War II, and served with other Allied air forces. The P-47 was very effective in air combat but proved especially adept at ground attack.
Richly illustrated with contemporary photographs and color profiles as well as maps, Thunderbolts Of The U.S. 8th Army Air Force describes the use of P-47 Thunderbolt fighters in many air operations over Europe between March 1944 and May 1945.
