| C. Pickett Louisville, KY | My dad flew a P47N out of Iwo Jima and Clark, AFB, PI. At 83 years old he may yet remember some of the details and definately has fond memories. Loved it more than the 51! 12/14/2007 @ 11:27 [ref: 18914] |
| Maurice Green Perth, Western Australia, OTH | Can anyone tell me definitively if the P-47N or late P-47D (-30 or -40 Blocks) had untreated (natural aluminium) interiors for wheel wells, cowlings and gun-bays?
In one of his books on the subject of aircraft colours, Dana Bell claims that use of chromate yellow coating on interior parts (except cockpits) was discontinued from July 1944 for most USAAF aircraft and even earlier for USN and P-51 production. I have viewed some colour slides of P-47Ns on www.ww2color.com but they are faded and not conclusive. The wheel doors appear to be yellow but it is hard to tell. It is no good quoting what has been seen in a museum after the restorers have done their work. I would really value information from anyone who has worked on a restoration of a late model P-47 before any changes were made. 11/13/2007 @ 01:02 [ref: 18516] |
| Neil Sellar Melbourne Victoria, OTH | The P47N carried 570 US Gallons of internal fuel giving it a range of 800 miles at 200 Knots @ 25000 feet. With max of 700 us Gallons external fuel and stores it could travel 2000 miles
at 200 Knots. the P47N had a max speed of 470 Knots @ 32000 feet and had a service ceiling of 43000 feet There was not one prop aircraft from any country involved in WW11 that could out perform A P47N at altitude. I get most of my information from WORLD AIRCRAFT INFORMATION FILES (I collected the complete set.) Also from WAR BIRDS OF WORLD WAR 11. a 3 DISK DVD BOX SET. Great set with real action and the Pilots who flew them tell their stories. Produced by R.B.C. Entertainment. Regards to all Neil. 08/03/2007 @ 07:06 [ref: 17429] |

| Mike McCorkle Colorado Springs, CO | Peterson AFB, CO air museum is a great place to visit. We have recently finished the landscaping and almost all the aircraft have been repainted. Today, 22 July 2001, we began cleaning the R2800 of our P-47N (44-89425). It has been on a pedestal for 30 years and now we are beginning to restore it..probably finish by 2003. The Thunderbolt will now live in the original Peterson hanger. Come see us, Mike 07/21/2001 @ 19:15 [ref: 2716] |
