LIBRARY 07 P-47 Thunderbolt with the USAAF in the MTO, Asia and Pacific
Tomasz Szlagor
P-47
Thunderbolt’s service outside western Europe, in three other major theaters of
World War II – the Mediterranean, Asia and Pacific – although perhaps not as
publicized, was no less colorful and varied, which makes it an excellent
subject for a photo-story. During the long campaign in Italy, Thunderbolt was
the best air interdiction aircraft the Allies had; pitted against German and
Italian fighters, it proved more than a match. In the Pacific, Thunderbolt
easily held its own against Japanese fighters over New Guinea, and later over
Japan’s Home Islands. Armed with ‘fire bombs’, bazookas and other ordnance, it
earned distinction as close air support aircraft during the invasion of
Marianas.
Also in China-Burma-India theater the P-47 excelled both as fighter
and fighter-bomber, with the renowned Air Commandos, among other units. The
book includes not only 138 archive photos, but also colour profiles of 4
aircraft and a big decal sheet with individual markings for the following
planes:
- P-47D-28-RA
(s/n 42-29091) coded ‘42’ and named Passionate Patsy, flown by Lt. Ralph Barnes
of 310th FS / 58th FG,
- P-47D-30-RE
(s/n 44-20866) coded ‘53’ and named Schmaltzie/Mercedes, flown by Lt. Frank
‘Duffy’ Middleton of 65th FS / 57th FG,
- P-47N-1-RE (s/n
