FS2004/FSX Republic P-47M Thunderbolt. With the advent of the Fieseler Fi 103, or V-1 missile, and turbojet and rocket propelled fighters in Luftwaffe service, a "sprint" version of the P-47 Thunderbolt was hurriedly produced to meet the threat. Air brakes were fitted beneath the wings to aid deceleration after diving on the quarry. The P47M topped at 450+ mph and 130 were subsequently built, these operating mostly in France after D-Day. Tested in FS2004/FSX/FSX Acceleration. Gmax model by A.F. Scrub.
