The second part of the monograph focuses on the most advanced variants of the P-47 Thunderbolt with the "bubble canopy" cockpit (from P-47D-25 to P-47N-25). Detailed descriptions cover the modifications introduced in these versions and their effect on performance and combat applications.

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the most important fighter and ground-attack aircraft used by the United States and Allied countries during World War II (1939–1945). This publication presents episodes from the fighting in Asia and the Pacific (Burma, China, Japan), where the Thunderbolts played a key role in countering Japanese forces. The fighter’s service in Western Europe is also described—from air combat over France to operations during the Italian campaign. The book also reliably presents the fate of air units and the profiles of pilots distinguished by their courage and combat skills.

Modeling advancement: the publication includes high-quality technical drawings and extensive photographic documentation, which will meet the requirements of both intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level on a scale of 1–5: 2). The availability of 1:48 scale drawings allows for precise reproduction of historical details in plastic, resin, or 3D-printed models.

We recommend this title to all aviation modelers and historians, especially those who specialize in World War II topics and American aircraft models in 1:48 scale. Kagero 3020 Republic P-47 Thunderbolt vol.II is a practical guide, a rich historical source, and an excellent supplement to the workshop of any modeler striving for the highest level of realism and historical accuracy.
