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 top speed, dive and rate of roll. So why did the 56FG that only flew P-47s yield the greatest American aces in the European theater? How could a plane that was only really known for its ground attack capabilities proved to be such a great fight in the hands of the 56FG?
Thanks.
