Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, also known as the "Jug" was the largest single-engined fighter of its day. It was one of the main USAAF fighters of WWII. The P-47 was effective in air combat but proved especially adept at ground attack. It had eight .50-caliber machine guns, four per wing. When fully loaded the P-47 could weigh up to eight tons.

If you do, the current issue features an article written by yours truly, re-enacting a mission flown by a little known P-47 pilot from a jungle airstrip in Papua New Guinea in spring 1944. The realism of the P-47 is awesome. Anyway, this isn't meant to be trumpet blasting, just thought you might like to take a look!
Many view WW II in black and white. Truth be told, tucked away is a tremendous amount of color film footage.
