Great video! The P-47 was the best ground attack plane of WW2. The radial engine could sustain direct hits and still bring the plane home - if a P-51 Mustang's radiator was it, the plane was lost. I heard once that more P-51 pilots were lost to radiator damage than were lost in aerial combat!

Really a great Video.. The only thing is I have a Mosquito in my room that sounds a lot like the P-47's

Thanks for the link. One of the associated links had P-47's flying off an aircraft carrier--USS Manila Bay.

The P38 is still my favorite, but those P47s were awesome.

Yep, there would be a quite a few more USAF guys around if they had kept it and used it Korea instead of the P-51 for ground attack.

Great video I'm going to ship it on to some friends.
