Just wondering which plane was the better fighter. Both planes are the 'D' variant.

Hello! I know that around 1800 P-47N's were build but does anybody have any info's on how many were actually in front line operations during ww2? And if yes which fighter wings were equipped with them? I would also really appreciate any good websites or books where i can get infos on the N. (I...

What tactics did the pilots that flew the P-47 use to fight the Luftwaffe? I ask this question because the ideal fighter would have good maneuverability, tight turn, good acceleration and good rate of climb. But the P-47 had 0 of these attributes. The only advantages the P-47 had was sometimes...

I was curious of what the top speed of the P-47 would be without wing pylons. I found that the Fw-190 found a 8-10kph increase in speed with the removal of its ETC 504(Which is located under the fuselage. By using common sense, it would only make sense if the P-51 had a better increase of speed...

I build this conversion a long time ago. It was based on an old german made conversion set to be used with the acient Hawk P-47. I used the monogram P-47 D as a donor and worked the crude vacu conversion kit arround it. But as far as I know, there is no full kit of the P-47 H that I know of...

In order not to clog up the current RAF bombing thread, I'd reckon it is better to discuss the merits and shortcomings of big US fighters in a separate thread. The P-38 was drop-tank ready before the 1st production F4U made 1st flight - Feb. vs. June 1942. That, and numbers available means...

Sealing up for transport NACA testing

Hi, Anyone have it the electrical wiring diagram or the electrical units wing of the P-47 D subsequent august 1944, and P-47N?(TO No 01-65BC-2) If not, I'm interested by the parts catalog of these P-47 about the electrical wiring in the wings or the pilot's flight operating instructions P-47D...

RAF (Thunderbolt Mark I)

I'm curious why the 56th FG didn't transfer to the P-51B. The P-51B had higher top speed, faster rate of climb, better turn time, longer range, better roll rate, higher critical mach speed and nearly half the price. It would seem 100% logical to simply move to the better plane, right? I'd assume...

How many men comprised the ground crew of a European theater USAAF fighter? I refer to the men who were assigned to just one plane: P-51 or P-47. Was it just three enlisted men per A/C? Bombers must have had more -say five EM. Also, did the flight engineer on bombers work with the ground crew...
