Art.bezeichnung: 1:48 US Re. P-47D Thunderb. Razorback
In 1943, the 8 th Air Force was launching raids on Germany with its B17
and B24 from England. The aim was to destroy German main production
factories. Unfortunately, losses during theses missions were very heavy
and it became urgent to develop a fighter able to escort the bombers
over enemy soil. The limited ranges of the Spitfire and P-38 Lightning
did not make these fighters able to go further than Paris, leaving the
bombers alone to fend for themselves for the rest of the flight. With
the development of the P-47, this problem was overcome. The P-47 was the
first single-seated fighter to be equipped with a supercharger, allowing
it to fly at the same high altitude as the bombers. This high-flying
fighter was armed with eight 12.7 mm machineguns that proved very useful
in the intense fighting that occurred in the European skies. Equipped
with drop tanks for longer range, the P-47D was then able to escort the
bombers all the way to the German border. The Thunderbolt also allowed
many Allied pilots to become Aces. Bomber crews plagued day after day by
intensive German interceptions, would remark that the presence of the P-47 was of great help.
