P-47 Thunderbolt’s first flight
In early May 1941, the prototype of the P-47 fighter developed by Republic Aviation, designated XP-47B, flew for the first time and successfully passed its flight test.
Just a year later, in March 1942, the new P-47 fighters began rolling off the assembly line and entering service.
The Thunderbolt was known for its high top speed and its great potential for mounting suspended and offensive armaments. At the same time, the fighter turned out to be quite heavy and was inferior in maneuverability to many of its counterparts. The combination of these qualities determined its role in the USAAF: fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft.
More than 15,000 P-47s with various modifications were built during World War II, making it the most mass-produced American fighter aircraft in history!
