Nice. I was not even aware that Curtiss built any P-47's. Learn something new here everyday.

Curtiss built about 354 P-47G's. A very few made it to a theatre because it suffered from the same sort of malaise that afected the rest of CURTISS and the quality was far less than what was hoped for.

I got it on #1 (although to be honest I didn't realize it was a Curtiss-built Jug.) :lol:

I had always read that all the P-47Gs were kept Stateside for training use. I didn't know any actually made it into combat.

Yep ~ formerly "lil demon" ~ I don't know when it will be ready to fly.

For the record ~ the clues were the registration in pic no 2 and ..... and ...... take another look at the label in pic 3 and read the first word written in ink :D

It was seeing the blue tag yesterday that gave me the idea for this post :wink:

I sat in this aircraft a couple of times when Ray Stutsman owned the plane. It was the first P-47 I had ever sat in, and the only Razorback to date. It was beautiful!
