THUNDERBOLT (1944, TECHNICOLOR, 44:41)
Welcome to "The Country Club", the base of operations in Corsica for an American fighter-bomber group flying legendary P-47 Thunderbolts assigned to interdiction deep behind enemy lines during the fierce ground fighting of 1944 Italy. Logic and tactics are expounded upon but not at the expense of maintaining intimate contact with the details and feel of the daily life of the men involved. The Thunderbolt aircraft used by this group were specially loaded with color film in cameras mounted throughout the plane, making for truly extraordinary bomb run and air-to-ground battle footage from a variety of angles. From take-off to landing and the careful maintenance in-between, this film shows what the planes and the men of this fighter group went through in this fight.


The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II era fighter aircraft produced by the United States from 1941 through 1945, first flew on May 6, 1941. Its primary armament was eight .50-caliber machine guns and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack role it could carry five-inch rockets or a bomb load of 2,500 pounds (1,103 kg). When fully loaded the P-47 weighed up to eight tons, making it one of the heaviest fighters of the war. The P-47 was designed around the powerful Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine which was also used by two U.S. Navy fighters, the Grumman F6F Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair. The Thunderbolt was effective as a short-to-medium range escort fighter in high-altitude air-to-air combat and ground attack in both the World War II European and Pacific theaters. The P-47 was one of the main United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) fighters of World War II, and served with Allied air forces including France, Britain, and Russia. Mexican and Brazilian squadrons fighting alongside the U.S. also flew the P-47. The armored cockpit was relatively roomy and comfortable, the bubble canopy introduced on the P-47D in particular offering good visibility. A present-day U.S. ground-attack aircraft, the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, takes its name from the P-47.
