I found this fantastic article on the web called P47 Thunderbolt: Aviation Darwinism
http://www.cradleofaviation.org/jordanpart1/0401Seversky-Republicb.html (http://www.cradleofaviation.org/jordanpart1/0401Seversky-Republicb.html)
It's a fantastic read. I learned a whole bunch about my beloved Jug. I'm printing this sucker out and making up a binder for it. It's beautiful... and long too!
Ooooh baby, give me that M or N model. The N is likely the more polished and better overall of the two I suppose. I'd also like to fly a Pac scenario in the Jug. Mmmmmm... 8 fifties vs. Zeke's.... droooooool.

"My P-47 is a pretty good ship, she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip.
Just thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip, always got me through so far."

(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) I've been quoting and posting the links to the P-47 article on that web page for abotu a year. There must be a ubb Username filter at work here (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Yup... The Crade of Aviation. The P-47-M article... Heck, all of it. Great reading material! Now that I have a color printer I'll be printing it all out too.

Since we already have a P-47 in the game, you think maybe they will add P-72 as a perked plane? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (Just through that on the list of planes I would like to fly, at least offline or H2H in AH, because I know they would do such an outstanding job of modeling it! Add the XP-67 Moonbat to that list as well, but with the merlins they were going to re-engine it with before she burned up.)
BTW, if you enjoy that URL on the P-47, I HIGHLY recommend Warren M. Bodies book, Republic's P-47 Thunderbolt, From Seversky to Victory' ISBN 0-9629359-1-3
