Among the iconic aircraft of World War II, the Republic P-47
Thunderbolt not only was physically the biggest single-engine
fighter, it also had an enormous impact on history. In terms of its
combat effectiveness, P-47 fliers destroyed 7,067 hostile aircraft,
with about half of those "kills" recorded during aerial combat.
Thunderbolt pilots reported destroying 6,000 enemy tanks, 68,000
trucks, 86,000 railway cars, and 9,000 locomotives. For a
single-engine fighter, such a tally is definitely one for the
history books. The history of this iconic aircraft is presented
through carefully researched archival photos, as well as
photographs of preserved examples, thereby illustrating not only
the combat use of the Thunderbolt, but also the details of its
design and construction. Large, clear photos, coupled with
descriptive and informative captions, put the reader on the
airfield and in the sky with this historic aircraft. Part of the
Legends of Warfare series.
