Photo-book on the Mighty Jug!,
By
This review is from: Thunderbolt: Republic P-47 (Living History) (Paperback)
Published in 1999, Dan Patterson and Paul Perkin's book is a photo-and-text tribute to Republic's seven-ton, war-winning P-47 Thunderbolt. Part of the 'Living History' series, it uses re-enactors posed around the aircraft in question to create an evocative picture of war-time flying.
THUNDERBOLT tops off at 64 pages. Perkins contributes a 14-page bio of the P-47 including a sample fighter-bomber mission. The photo mix includes vintage pix of 8th AF Jugs, pilots, ground crew and combat scenes along with Patterson's contemporary shots of the Midwest Aviation Museum's P-47D marked as Dave Schilling's LM*S of the 56th FG. Patterson includes air-to-air and ground shots as well as many nicely-done close-ups of the cockpit, machine-guns, engine, wheels, etc. All in all, it's a neat photo tribute to one of history's most famous warplanes. Recommended. |
