Description
One of the most successful aircraft of World War Two was Republic Aviation's big and tough P-47 Thunderbolt, aka "Jug". This beautifully restored survivor was photographed at the Mid-Atlantic Aviation Museum's annual air show in Reading, Pennsylvania. Built in 1945 at Republic Aviation's Evansville, Indiana, plant, its long history includes service with the Peruvian Air Force and one crash landing in Tulsa when its engine got real quiet on take-off. Not good. Its actual serial number is 45-49295 but it's painted to represent 42-26671 as flown by Capt. Benjamin I. Mayo, commanding officer of the 82nd and 84th fighter squadrons.
