Summary
| Description |
English: PictionID:42002267 - Title:Republic XP-47K Thunderbolt XP-47K, 42-8702. As an experiment to improve the rearward visibility, the USAAF fitted a standard P-47D-5-RE airframe (serial number 42-8702) with a bubble canopy taken from a Hawker Typhoon. In order to accommodate the bubble canopy, the Republic design team had to cut down the rear fuselage. This conversion was re-designated XP-47K, and was tested in July 1943. - Catalog:15_002975 - Filename:15_002975.TIF - Repository: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive |
