Re: @redpawn ...Don't look to the past

The P-47 Was built around a huge radial engine. Bit different than the P-51s and could take a lot more punishment.

With the supercharger the P-51 was a superior air to air fighter, but again, couldn't take the punishment.

There are stories where the Germans ran out of ammo while attempting to shoot down a P-47.

The nice thing is that you can go on to You Tube and find videos about all of these aircraft.
