The P-47 Thunderbolt is an American fighter aircraft widely used during World War II. Introduced into service in 1942, it was primarily operated by the United States Air Force but also by the RAF, France, and other Allied nations. As one of the heaviest and best-armed single-engine fighters of its era, the P-47 proved effective both as a long-range escort fighter and a ground-attack aircraft. It participated in key campaigns over Western Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific.
