How to Fly the Republic P-47 "Thunderbolt" (1943 B&W) $16.95

* Pilot Familiarization for the P-47 ( 23:00)

You'll see a detailed, step-by-step introductory rundown on the Thunderbolt's lay out, specs, design and capabilities. Especially informative is a tour of all the major cockpit instruments and components.

* Ground Handling, Takeoff, Normal Flight and Landing (24:34)

A concise hands on run through of the basics of piloting the big "Bolt, from pre flight check through touch down. Ungainly in appearance, the Thunderbolt was a lethal weapon in the ETO. Aces like Zemke and Gabreski racked up most of their kills in a "Jug," and as the war progressed, it became the ground attack weapon of choice for the Americans in Europe.

* High Altitude Flight and Aerobatics (21:08)

See the Jug Rock & Roll ! Loops, rolls, dives, the big Jug can do it all. Contains a thorough explanation of high altitude P-47 turbo-supercharger theory & operation too.

* Uncrating and Assembly of the P-47 Thunderbolt (40:00)

This truly remarkable step-by-step training film shows how a ground support crew of fifty men could assemble a P-47 in a field using nothing more than muscle, unpowered hand tools, and pieces of the shipping crate it came in. We're talking nothing more than hammers, wrenches and bicycle pumps! You'll also get a unique look at the inner workings of the big Jug as it is literally bolted together by field personnel. A must see for P-47 fans and shade tree mechanics alike!* * * 50-page Republic P-47D Thunderbolt pilot's manual in .pdf file format with photos, systems diagrams, performance charts, procedures & more. The P-47D was the first "bubble canopy Thunderbolt and was most widely used version of the "Jug."
112-page Republic P-47N Thunderbolt pilot's training manual in .pdf file format with photos, systems diagrams, gunsight operation, tactics, procedures & and much more. The "N" was the final variant of the P-47, a "Super Thunderbolt" developed for long range operations in the Pacific.
Pilot's manual viewable on computer DVD player. Don't have a DVD player on your computer? We can put the manual on a separate CD-ROM! (Click here for info,)
