[About the actual machine]
-A large fighter developed and deployed and operated by the United States Army during World War II is the P-47D Thunderbolt.

-First flight in May 1941. From 1943, joined the European Front. Initially, he was on duty as an Allied bomber escort, but with the deployment of the state-of-the-art P-51 Mustang, he shifted his role to ground attack and remained active until the end of the war.
-Various improvements have been made throughout the battle since its appearance, and various types have been created. Among them, the D type was the representative type. Improvements were made even among the D-types, and the shape of the fuselage changed significantly in the middle.
