The P-47D (or the 'Jug' as it was affectionately known) was one of the heaviest fighters of World War 2, with a fully laden P-47 topping the scales at a portly eight tonnes, which required a very powerful engine - the same engine that powered the F6F Hellcat and the Vought Corsair, the Pratt and Whitney R2800. Coupled with an impressive load-out capability and very capable 50-calibre machine guns, the Thunderbolt was a very capable medium-range escort fighter and an excellent ground attack fighter.

But there was an issue: visibility. The Razorback, whilst strong (some returned safely with very large amounts of the plane damaged), had an issue with rear visibility. The fix was found by a visit to the RAF. The RAF also had this issue on some of their aircraft and had in fact lent their canopy design to another famous USAAF aircraft, the P51-D Mustang. In this case the answer lay in the Hawker Typhoon with its all-encompassing all-round-vision 'bubble top'. And the Razorback was retired from production in favour of the Bubbletop.

P-47s were operated by several Allied air forces during WWII. The RAF, for example, received 240 Razorback P-47Ds, which were designated Thunderbolt Mark I. Since there wasn't a need for a high-altitude fighter in the RAF (the superb Supermarine Spitfire filled that role admirably) the RAF used their Thunderbolts as ground attack aircraft, rather like the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt used today. And yes, the A-10 takes its name from its WWII grandfather - the P47-D Thunderbolt.
