The P-47D was a workhorse of the U.S. Army Air Force during the last half of WWII. The P-47D was equipped with a 2,000 horsepower R-2800 Double-Wasp engine. Thanks to the great engine the P-47 was an agile craft despite its large size. This unique combination of abilities made it perfect for bomber escort roles and ground attack. One of the most notable changes ever made to the Thunderbolt was the installation of a bubble canopy, a modification that greatly improved flight visibility.
