I recently picked up these WWII United Aircraft Corporation promotional prints off of ebay. The P-47 has an interesting history.

NASM original has a bit more scenery (NASM-NASM.XXXX.0356-M0000271-00040): any idea where it's taken?

Not sure, but looks like the Eastern seaboard, so probably close to Farmingdale?
