p-47

I am wondering that if anybody put a spinner cone on the nose of a P-47, how fast would the plane fly? And is there a mathematical solution? I am 12 years old and I like to know these things.

What do people think about Germany's Operation Bodenplatte (bottom plate), and the aerial battle of Y-29? Could it have been a success? Here are some videos from the History Channel's show Dogfights: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=booCDyCFxFg View...

First post, guys. Thought I'd share my P-47D25 decked out in Gabby Gabreski's colors. I know this particular aircraft has been overdone to death, but it is still one of the best looking aircraft from the entire war. Polly Scale colors, Ultracast seat, and a Paasche VL brush. I have a few...

Here is my latest. I did some post-shading for the first time with my new Iwata airbrush, shortened the landing gear, added bomb attachment points, etc. All mods were done to oob parts. No aftermarket. Let me know what you think! Thanks for looking! Andy

I was told by an ex-P47 pilot that as the guns were fired electrically they all fired at the same time and that the combined recoil made the plane shudder. He also said that firing all 8 .50s slowed the plane down by 60 MPH. I believe it was he also who said that Hurricanes with the 4 20MMs...

I was sitting around thinking of a story I read in an Aviation History or Air Classics magazine a few years ago about an American pilot in a P-47 in some Central or S. American country getting in a dogfight in that or a neighboring country. I can't seem to find the article and was wondering if...

Iam looking for P-47 ' s control stick mechanism and the connection to push rods that move ailerons and elevator. This mechanism is covered by a leather and canvas boot in the cockpit. I have got a schematics of the AN 01-65BC-1A manual titled surface controls where it appears ,but is poor...
