"...The P-51 is and was beautiful, but its main trick was its range. It was delicate and not a good choice for ground attack. A solid case can be made that aside from the Corsair, the P-47 was indeed the apogee of prop fighters..." Corsairs and other radial-engine fighters returned to aircraft carriers with cylinders shot away!

Had the honor of knowing a man who was a ‘’Jug’’ pilot. He loved the power of that plane.
