The book covers the technical history of the late production P-47 Thunderbolts, with the “bubbletop” canopy. From the P-47D-25-RE through to the final P-47N, the changes in the various production series are described and illustrated, with 172, 148 and 132 scale line drawings and many photos. There are about 30 black and white wartime photos, including walk around photos of P-47s in 10 different museums around the world and shots of restored planes in private hands still flown today. At the rear of the book are color illustrations of P-47s in profile (23) and 12 two-views (showing wing tops and fuselage sides). These show the markings of almost every air force that ever flew the P-47D and N: Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Iran, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Portugal, Taiwan, Turkey, USSR, USA, Venezuela and Yugoslavia.
