1942 Army P-47 Republic "Thunderbolt" - World War II USA fighter plane
Original aeroplane recognition poster (1942)
63x47cm
A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have many in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view.
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was a World War II-era fighter aircraft produced by the American aerospace company Republic Aviation between 1941 and 1945. It was one of the main United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) fighters of World War II, and also served with other Allied air forces, including those of France, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. Mexican and Brazilian squadrons fighting alongside the USAAF also flew the Thunderbolt. By 1944, the Thunderbolt was in combat with the USAAF in all its operational theatres except Alaska. The Thunderbolt was produced in greater numbers than any other U.S. made fighter plane.
The Luftwaffe operated at least one captured Thunderbolt. In poor weather on 7 November 1943 while flying a Thunderbolt on a bomber escort mission, 2nd Lt. William Roach of the 358th Fighter Squadron made an emergency landing on a German airfield. Roach was imprisoned at Stalag Luft I and the Thunderbolt was given German markings and flown by the German army.
