The P-47 is easily the best looking American fighter...barring the P-38 of course...

I Disagree. The best looking american fighter is the P-40, followed closely by the F4U

And I still say the Dora is better looking than the Anton!! :P

It would not surprise me if some did. Most of the Air to Air kills on Me-262's were on take off or landing and if a P-51 can hit them then, so can a P-47.
