The P-47 was armed with eight 12.7 mm machine guns.
Along with the P-51 Mustang, the Thunderbolt was the primary fighter of the US Army Air Force.
The early production P-47D was nicknamed the "Razorback" due to the shape of its upper fuselage behind the cockpit.
The P-47D was a fast fighter and escorted Allied bombers during raids on Germany. Its one-ton payload and robustness made the Thunderbolt the perfect aircraft for ground combat.
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was one of the Luftwaffe's best front-line fighters in World War II.
Of all the various variants, the A-8, armed with four 20 mm cannons and two 13 mm machine guns, was the most widely used.
