F-47D - Portuguese Air Force - 4434
(update vs 1.0 - Initial Release)
A bit of History:
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt entered service in 1942. It was one of the largest and most powerful fighters of WW2.
The Thunderbolt or "Jug" as it was called, proved itself useful as long-range fighter, but also in the ground attack role, where its rugged construction was able to absorb a lot of damage from ground fire.
The P-47/F-47 served with a number of air forces both during and after WW2, including Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Great Britain, Italy, Turkey and Yugoslavia.
About this Livery:
This example is a P-47D-30 of Esquadra 10 Portuguese Air Force 1955. F-47-30-RA flown by Portuguese Air Force during the early fifties. 50 aircraft were provided by the US from surviving WW2 Jugs and this particular one had the USAF serial number 44-90251.
Unfortunately none of the planes were preserved for museum display, being the remaining airframes sold for scrap.
