Country:  | I'm afraid that I'm stuck between the P-47N the P-51D. They did use them for those VLR missions over the Pacific escorting the B-29's.....

Country: | P-47N for me folks. it had longer range, about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) compared to the P-51D Mustang 1,650 mi (2,655 km) with external tanks.
It was faster too....

Country: | Then I think that the P-47N like all P-47's can absorb battle dammage better and still bring the pilot compared to the P-51...

| Are we to register our preferences according to which had a greater impact or which could perform better in that role?
IMHO, the P-51 had a greater impact but the P-47N could perform that role better.
