Modelling the P-47 Thunderbolt
Author: Brett Green
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1780966857
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
The P-47 Thunderbolt, affectionately nicknamed the 'Jug', was one of the most famous fighter aircraft of World War II. Used as both a high-altitude escort fighter and a low-level fighter-bomber, it quickly gained a reputation for being tough and resilient. Many different air forces operated this plane, and it sported a wide range of camouflage schemes, finishes and markings, including stunning nose art. Modellers have been well served with Thunderbolt kits over the years, right up to the latest highly accurate releases. This book takes a step-by-step approach to modelling a wide variety of P-47 types in 1/48-scale, from 'Razorbacks' in USAAF colours to RAF T-bolts in the Far East. It provides expert advice on conversions (including a Bubbletop to a P-47M), adding aftermarket items, detailing, and ways to achieve top quality weathering and finishes.

P-47 Thunderbolt in Detail & Scale
Author: Bert Kinzey
Publisher: Detail & Scale
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the most heralded and recognizable fighters of World War II. Built in larger numbers than any other American fighter aircraft in history, a record that will surely never be broken, the P-47 evolved during the war from an interceptor design to that of a long-range fighter with excellent fighter-bomber capabilities. From the original “razorback” P-47B that could not carry any external stores, to the “bubbletop” P-47N with larger wings and the ability to carry a wide array of external fuel tanks and ordnance, this book covers every aspect of the fighter that became known as the “Jug.” Detail & Scale published its first book on Republic’s P-47 Thunderbolt in 1998. Twenty-five years later, this new publication, P-47 Thunderbolt in Detail & Scale, significantly revises and expands our original coverage of the big, radial-engine fighter that endeared itself to many pilots as the rugged and survivable aircraft that would bring them home. Following an Introduction, the Thunderbolt History chapter traces the origins of the Thunderbolt, covering the previous Seversky and Republic efforts that led up to its design and development. This chapter then continues with how the different production variants from the P-47B through the P-47N improved the capabilities of the aircraft as each succeeding production block and version became operational. Next is the Thunderbolt Variants chapter which takes a closer look at each version of the P-47 in more detail. All of the production variants, as well as the experimental Thunderbolts, are included in this informative chapter. Line drawings that point out important changes and enhancements made to the production variants were drawn specifically for Detail & Scale by Lloyd S. Jones. The primary focus of the Detail & Scale Series of aviation publications is on the details of the aircraft. The Thunderbolt Details chapter has ten different sections that include 170 detail photographs that cover the P-47 in incredible detail, both inside and out and from the propeller hub to the position light on the trailing edge of the rudder. The large majority of these photographs are in color, and most were taken by the author specifically for the original book and for this publication to ensure that every possible detail would be illustrated. No less than ten different P-47s were photographed. As with all Detail & Scale Series books, our Modelers Section provides coverage of the scale model kits of the Thunderbolt. In the quarter-century since our original book on the Jug was published, a considerable number of new kits have been released, and reviews of these have been added to the Modeler Section. Kits in all popular standard modeling scales from 1/144th through 1/24th scales are included. P-47 Thunderbolt in Detail & Scale has more than 260 photographs, over 190 of which are in color, 11 drawings, and 9 color profiles.

Dialectics
Author: Paul Johnsen
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1450063837
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
Dialectics teaches the rules, procedures, and codes used by a technologically advanced overseer, or god, to write a program for Earth and its inhabitants. According to Johnsen, this program was designed to last for two thousand seven hundred and seven years, beginning in 687 BC and ending in 2020. The aim of Dialectics is to prove the existence of a Master Programmer through intelligently designed puzzles. Dialectics demonstrates how the speed of light, Planck's constant, and a formula for anti gravity determine the rotation and position of the Earth and its surrounding planets. It shows the simultaneous planning of the Hebrew, Christian, and Islamic calendar reforms before 378 BC, the planned height and fall of the Roman Empire, the entanglement of emperors living 700 years apart, a Christian conspiracy headed by Dante, and the identity of Shakespeare. These and many more startling revelations are found in Dialectics, including the 1929 stock market crash, the 911 attack of the twin towers, and the economic meltdown of 2008. By proving the existence of God and his (or her) continuous interaction with people and events of this world, Dialectics gives the Darwinists some viable competition.

Check Six!
Author: Jim Curran
Publisher: Casemate
ISBN: 1612003001
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
“Makes you proud to be an American . . . a wonderful, fast-paced read, and I highly recommend it for any World War II aviation enthusiast” (Military Review). There were no mission limits for a pilot in the Pacific during World War II; unlike in Europe, you flew until it was time to go home. So it was for James “Jug” Curran, all the way from New Guinea to the Philippines with the 348th Fighter Group, the first P-47 Thunderbolt outfit in the Pacific. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Curran volunteered to try flying in the blue yonder and trained as an Army fighter pilot. He got his wish to fly the P-47 in the Pacific, going into combat in August 1943, in New Guinea, and later helping start the “Black Rams” fighter squadron. The heavy US Thunderbolts were at first curious to encounter the nimble, battle-hardened Japanese in aerial combat, but soon, the American pilots gained skill of their own and their planes proved superior. Bombers on both sides could fall to fighters, but the fighters themselves were eyeball to eyeball, best man win. Check Six! is an aviation chronicle that brings the reader into flight, then into the fight, throughout the Pacific War and back. This work, from someone who was there, captures the combat experience of our aviators in the Pacific, aided by pertinent excerpts from the official histories of units that “Jug” Curran flew with. “Jim Curran is not afraid to share his moments of fear and emotions during the air battles with his readers which gives the book an extra dimension.” —AviationBookReviews.com

Book Description
One of the first Thunderbolt groups to see action in the European Theatre of Operations (ETO) with the US Army Air Forces, the 56th Fighter Group (FG) was also the only fighter unit within the Eighth Air Force to remain equipped with the mighty P-47 until war's end.

By VE-Day the 56th FG had shot down 100 more enemy aircraft than any other group in the Eighth Air Force, its pilots being credited with 677 kills during 447 missions. The exploits of this elite fighter unit are detailed in this volume together with photographs, their aircraft profiles and insignia.
