After the introduction of P-51-D Mustangs, the P-47s were reassigned to ground attack missions and supporting allied troops. These aircraft were robust, maneuverable, and fast, serving in various European, Pacific, and Asian campaigns. Following WWII, P-47s were either destroyed or transferred to other air forces in Europe, Central America, and South America, with the last one retiring in the mid-1970s. Today, only a few complete and flight-worthy P-47 fighters remain.
