There was one movie that I've only seen once but it was based on the 56th fighter Squad. One of the only movies that have great P-47 footage. Do any of you guys know what the movie is called?

Also I like the movie  "Air Force". Based on the first few day of WW II. What I like about it is the footage of the P-39's in the PI and the P-43's that they used as Japanese aircraft.

Fighter Squadron with Robert Stack. Also in the cast was that dweeby character who played Jimmy Olson on the old Superman TV series from the 1950s.

They used Air Guard P-47s and P-51Ds, which stood in for the Luftwaffe (they wish! LOLOLOL).

The oscar winning documentry 'Thunderbolt!'  - about a U.S. thunderbolt squadron flying out of Corsica during 'Operation Strangle' in Italy. Use of colour film and on-board cine cameras give unique real action footage. Good close up of squadron life and lots of P-47 footage - will whet your appetite to fly these juggernauts. Intro by Jimmy Stewart, hilarious narration by my childhood hero Mike Nelson - er, Lloyd Bridges!

Yah, I agree Jackal. The first two seasons, before Savage bites it, aremy favs. It's quite a dark series for tv back then.
