And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Love that plane! I have a training film and some pretty books covering the Thunderbolt's operational history, including wearing the liveries of numerous other countries. That's real airplane pr0n. IMO, no other aircraft of the period radiated an aura of pure predatory presence as the P47. Perhaps the Focke-Wulf 190 series, but they are puny compared to this bird. After getting the 4-blade VP prop, this lady could dance too ... at high speeds and alts. A tough old broad. Takes more punishment than Amy Klobuchar's personal secretaries. MfG, Goetz
I've never personally seen one in flight. Guess she's kinda my dream girl.
Link to a '44 video on how to field assemble your P-47, using hand tools and the crate it shipped in as a jig. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Noqms4AhTJA
