Country:  | I still say the round engine of the -47 is a great advantage. The Tiffy has an Achilles heel - Glycol!

Country:  | I think the engines of the 47 were possibly its biggest advantage. It gave her good performance and were very reliable.

Country: | Of the 2 I am for the P-47. Hell the P-47 is probably my favorite US Aircraft. I have always like the Jug!
