In April 1943, the Thunderbolt flew its first combat mission: a sweep over Western Europe. Used as both a high-altitude escort fighter and a low-level fighter-bomber, the P-47 quickly gained a reputation for ruggedness. Its sturdy construction and air-cooled radial engine enabled the Thunderbolt to absorb severe battle damage and keep flying. During World War II, the P-47 served in almost every active war theater and in the air forces of the British, Free French, Russians, Mexicans, and Brazilians. By the end of World War II, more than 15,600 Thunderbolts had been built. Early P-47 aircraft were built with metal-framed \"greenhouse\" type cockpit canopies (\"razor back\" \"Jug\"). Late D series aircraft and all M and N series production aircraft were given clear \"bubble\" canopies, which gave the pilot improved rearward vision. Source and Link: U.S.A.F. Museum.
