Armed with 8 12.7mm machineguns, the Thunderbolt, with the P-51 Mustang, constituted the main fighters of the United States Army Air Force. This is the representation of P-47D early production that was nicknamed "razorback" due to the fact that of the shape of its upper fuselage behind the cockpit. The P-47D was a high-speed, high-altitude capable fighter and accompanied the allied bombers that were carrying out raids over Germany. Its 1-ton payload and its toughness made the Thunderbolt the perfect aircraft for ground assaulting missions.
