The P-47 was a large (7 tons) and very powerful high-altitude fighter, commonly known as "The Jug."
The project began in 1939. Deliveries began in late 1942. A total of 15,683 examples of this US fighter aircraft were built during World War II.
Initially designed as an interceptor, the P-47 later proved to be an outstanding fighter for both bomber escort missions and ground attack.
Its tremendous structural strength and massive radial engine allowed it to withstand damage better than other aircraft. This model was the most widely produced version, with 6,315 built.
This aircraft was powered by the 2,000 hp R-2800 engine, which gave it a top speed of 433 mph at 30,000 feet.
The P-47 models prior to the D-25 were known as "Razorbacks."
