The P-47 Thunderbolt was one of WWII's largest single-engine fighters. In Europe, it functioned as a bomber escort plane, albeit with limited range for long-distance missions. The arrival of the P-51-D Mustangs led to a shift in roles for the P-47, focusing on ground attack and support of allied troops. Known for their strength, maneuverability, and speed, these aircraft were deployed across Europe, the Pacific, and Asia during the war. Post-war, many P-47s ended up in desert salvage yards, destroyed in Europe, or transferred to other European, Central, and South American allied air forces. The last active P-47 was retired in the mid-1970s, with very few complete, flightworthy models remaining today.
