Book Description:
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and Lockheed P-38 Lightning were vastly different designs, but both these aircraft served with distinction in the fighter escort and fighter-bomber role across Europe and the Pacific.

Michael O'Leary's magnificent air-to-air studies of the surviving airworthy aircraft.
