| So in the CBI it was not only a matter of P47īs in enough quantities so as to give them away to allied air forces other than the USAAF, but one of versatility, with aircraft having to perform a lot of very different roles, even those farther from the original design, because of the lack of specialists? That would explain why the Hurri stayed for so long in the front line, even if it ended up excelling in its new found role.
If the above is the case, itīs no wonder why they called the area "the forgotten theater"... (Germany first, anyone?)
