Original illustration of a Republic P-47D Thunderbolt fighter plane, as used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during the Second World War. Produced from 1941 to 1945, the Thunderbolt - sometimes nicknamed the 'Jug' due to its distinctive flat-nosed appearance - was one of the heaviest fighters of the war, weighing in at up to 8 tons, and was something of an aerial juggernaut; known for its resilience and its firepower alike. More than 15,000 Thunderbolts were produced in all, serving not only with the USAAF, but also with other Allied air forces including the Royal Air Force, the Free French Air Forces, and the Soviet Air Forces.
Depicted in this illustration is P-47 Thunderbolt 421108 HV-Z, as piloted by Witold 'Lanny' Łanowski. Łanowski's son, Krys Łanowski, had this to say about the illustration:
"The quality and accuracy of this depiction of my fathers Mk M Thunderbolt speaks for itself, atmospheric and great colourisation. Even showing the horseshoe beneath the canopy frame which is often missed. The graceful flight over Boxted brings the Thunderbolt to life. My father, Lanny Łanowski would love this…"
