When German engineers first examined the wreckage of a P-47 Thunderbolt, they couldn’t believe what they saw — a single-engine fighter producing 2,535 horsepower. Powered by the legendary Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp, the Thunderbolt was unlike anything the Luftwaffe had ever faced.
It wasn’t the fastest or the lightest, but it was nearly indestructible. Its massive air-cooled radial engine could take hits, lose cylinders, and still bring pilots home. German pilots called it “a monster with wings.”
