This restored Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, named 'Hun Hunter XVI,' represents the rugged American fighter-bomber that dominated the skies over Europe during World War II. Prized for its firepower, ruggedness, and ability to absorb battle damage, the Thunderbolt escorted bombers and struck ground targets across the European theater. This example continues to fly at airshows, preserving the legacy of the pilots who flew it into combat. Project: 219306
