Alexander Kartveli, the brilliant designer, redesigned the aircraft and produced a fighter for the Second World War. The new XP-47B was a huge aircraft powered by the Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney R-2800 engine which developed 2,000 hp, making it a high-altitude performer and the lightly armed fighter now carried eight .50-caliber guns in each wing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe heavy fighter was not an instant success in air-to-air combat. The American ex-Eagle Squadron pilots and the 56th Fighter Group pilots who initially flew the P-47 found that air combat remained a problem until they learned that high-altitude combat was a different story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts short range was a distinct handicap that had to be resolved, but when it came to strafing and ground attack following D-Day in France, the Thunderbolt proved ideal for close support until the end of the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA late arrival in the Far East and the Pacific, the P-47 filled a vital support role in Burma and China. In the Pacific it did not arrive in numbers until late in the war, but its ruggedness and performance marked by the great destructive capability, however, the P-47 was soon phased out of service as early as 1950 following its ground-support performance in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday very few Thunderbolts survive in flying condition. The 'Jug', whatever you care to call it, left remarkable contributions to victory and to the many 'dog faces' down below who appreciated its firepower.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William N.
