The P-47 Thunderbolt, one of WWII's largest single-engine fighters, was initially used as a bomber escort in Europe but faced range limitations. Following the introduction of long-range P-51-D Mustangs, the P-47 shifted to ground attack and troop support missions. Tough, maneuverable, and fast, these planes were effective across European, Pacific, and Asian fronts. Post-WWII, many P-47s ended up in desert salvage yards, destroyed in Europe, or transferred to other air forces worldwide. The last operational P-47 was retired in South America in the mid-1970s, with few complete, flight-worthy models remaining today.
