Although designed as a high altitude escort fighter the P-47 was adapted to carry not only additional fuel tanks but also listed GP bombs, M-10 rockets, and fragmentation bombs among its weapon loading. Coupled with the eight .50 cal Browning machine guns mounted in the wings this turned the Thunderbolt into what is considered by many to be the most effective fighter-bomber of the second world war.
