You're Top Poster: #21   | P47 Thunderbolt Affectionately known as the 'Jug' by its jockeys, it could absorb a tremendous amount of punishment and still fly home. One of its claims to fame was found out when engaging German Me109's who would roll inverted and dive away in a dogfight when things didnt go quite to plan. At just under seven tons in weight with a monsterous radial in front that didnt cut when rolled, nothing, but nothing outdived a Jug when its pilot fire-walled the loud lever and pointed it downhill.

There from a roll of imagery that was given to me about 10 years ago, it was only last year that I got some frames scanned. The three images are enlargement from the full frame. Last edited by mfg495; 25-01-2008 at 11:18 PM. | |

You're Top Poster: #1 | Great pictures indeed.Though a late comer to the Far East/Burma it showed itself to be a very competent aircraft. BC1, I shall have a look in my books and let you know. BTW I haven't forgotten about the Dak picture - just haven't found any details yet.
