P-47 Thunderbolt USAAF - Lt. Col. Gabreski |
from the 34th fighter Squadron Yearbook |
The P-47's wing ammo bays are opened and the machine gun belts are fed into their magazines Hold up the belt so I can get it lined up with the loader mechanism.The P-47 had eight 50 Caliber Machine Guns. The nickname of the P-47 Thunderbolt was the Flying Jug, but it was a very potent jug with lots of armor and a whole lot of fire power. The bubble canopy gave the pilot a clear vision of 360 degrees keeping the enemy from sneaking up on him. |
