Meet Peter-47

[Skycat]

Here's a link to an interesting brochure (c.1944) that apparently was given to new Thunderbolt pilots:

"So you're going to fly the Thunderbolt. That means the P-47 will be your weapon in this war. You'll want to study that weapon, learn all you can about it:
- What kind of a ship it is ...
- What it can do in aerial combat ...
- What it can take ...
- What it can dish out ...
We'll try to help you sink your teeth in some FACTS about your plane."

Includes development history, cutaway diagrams, photographs, combat statistics and profiles of contemporary Thunderbolt aces. Nineteen pages total, mostly black and white but some pages are augmented with color.
