Republic P-47 Thunderbolt Fighter Family
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was a rugged, high-altitude single-seat fighter family that evolved from the XP-47B into escort, air-superiority, and fighter-bomber variants. Its turbo-supercharged radial-engine design served with the United States and Allied air forces across nearly every major Second World War theater, and its heavily armed, durable airframe became especially effective in low-level ground attack as the war progressed.
