The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, one of the heaviest and most rugged single-engine fighters of World War II, is represented here by 'Hun Hunter XVI.' Renowned for its firepower and ability to absorb battle damage, the P-47 served with distinction in both the European and Pacific theaters, escorting bombers and pounding ground targets. This lovingly restored example continues to fly at airshows, preserving the legacy of the pilots who flew it into combat. Project: 219310
