Where is your historical documentation showing it was actually equipped with DT's? Or do you just want them?

P-47D-15 was the first equipped with wing pylons.  Seeing how we have the D-11, no dice.

so you are saying these are not wing pylons on this P-47D-11-RE?  (Not sure is the RE part makes a difference.)


caption from home.att.net/~historyzone/Seversky-Republic6.html says:
A 318th FG P-47D-11-RE runs up to full power as it prepares for a catapult launch from the deck of the
CVE Manila Bay off of Saipan. Note the artwork on the drop tank under the fuselage.

     CVE means escort carrier.  They sometimes used carrier to deliver land based
aircraft to distant bases.  Launch only.

Its either a mislabled caption, or a plane that had them retrofitted in the field, because the D-11 left the factory without wing pylons.  I don't know if they could retrofit the wing pylons on the older models or not.  There was a lot of plumbing and some structure added to support those.  Its probably just a typo on the caption.  By the time Saipan rolled around, most of the squadrons were using D-22/23's.

From what I've read (on this forum and other places) as the newer models came out for early 47s, those in-field were updated to the new standard. So they may have left the factory as a D-11, but if fully upgraded, uprated, whatever, they would be more equivelant to 47d22s or whatever (I'm just making up an example here).

We've got a stock example of a 47d11, not an upgraded.


You might want to just ask for a D22, but then we have an almost identical D25, so just fly that, IMO.
