In 1943, the 8th Air Force ended up being introducing raids on Germany using its B17 and B24 from England. The aim would be to destroy German main manufacturing factories. Unfortunately, losings during theses missions had been very heavy and it became urgent to develop a fighter able to escort the bombers over enemy soil. The limited ranges associated with the Spitfire and P-38 Lightning would not make these fighters able to get further than Paris, leaving the bombers alone to fend on their own the remaining portion of the trip. Because of the development of the P-47, this issue ended up being overcome. The P-47 had been the very first single-seated fighter become equipped with a supercharger, letting it travel at the same thin air since the bombers. This high-flying fighter had been armed with eight 12.7mm machineguns that proved very useful in intense combat that occurred in European skies. Equipped with drop tanks for longer range, the P-47D had been then in a position to escort the bombers all the way to the German edge. The Thunderbolt also allowed many Allied pilots to be Aces. Bomber crews plagued day after day by intensive German interceptions, would remark that the existence of this P-47 had been of good assistance.
