The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the heaviest single-engine fighter of the Second World War and, with more than 15,000 built, the most produced American fighter of the conflict. Powered by the mighty Pratt & Whitney R-2800, early D models kept the high “Razorback” spine before the switch to a bubble canopy, and the type excelled as both an escort fighter and a rugged ground attack aircraft. In the Southwest Pacific, Major William D. “Bill” Dunham of the 348th Fighter Group flew “Bonnie” on his way to becoming one of the unit’s top aces.
