Continuing their formation pass, two Republic P-47 Thunderbolts and a North American P-51 Mustang bank together against a clear sky. Both types were flown extensively by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, escorting bombers and striking ground targets across Europe. Vintage warbird collections preserve these aircraft in flying condition, offering the public a rare chance to see and hear them perform as they did in the 1940s. Project: 219310
