p51 vs p47

[brad]

which one

 

[cheddar cheese]

P-47 8)

 

[Erich]

is this a question and why ? two different capable a/c and used for different missions in different theaters of the war. P-47 tops as a heavy ground attack machine, P-51 tops as a long range high altitude interceptor

not sure though......................

you can't really compare the aircrafts but as the situation is, when someone is putting a gun to my head and asking me (;D ) i must say that the p47 perhaps was better. It could do several jobs as dive-bombing, intercepting and dogfighting. But as I said, You can not compare the aircrafts.....

P 47 good dammit

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i think the P-51 has the better looks, just.........................

I prefer the P-47. The M model was faster than most mustangs, the N model had a ridiculous range, and, 8 Browning .50's is better than six. I don't know nearly as much as the rest of you, but it could almost certainly dive faster, and was probably tougher to kill and more rugged. The P-51 has it in high-altitude performance, and probably is a bit more manuverable, but I'd still take the Jug.

Plus, I think it looked so much more manly, I love radials.

 

[plan_D]

The P-51 had a longer range, too. The N was a little too late for the war, although I believe it saw some service in the Pacific.

 

[Schrage Muzik]

Ah, yes, longer range.

I belive that the N did see service escorting B-29's during some of the final runs, it had a range of 2350 miles with tanks, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[The Jug Rules!]

looked a lot better

Amen to that brother!!!
