American War Eagles:
P-47 Thunderbolt - DVD
Bolt from the Blue.
Video explores the P-47, which has never been matched
for ruggedness and dependability in all of military
aviation. The pilots who flew it into combat called
it "The Unbreakable" because they often
safely returned from combat shot full of holes, their
wings in tatters. Only 0.7% were lost in combat. Improved
through the war with an external fuel tank, longer
fuselage and a more powerful engine, the stout P-47
was invaluable. Color, 52 minutes. |
