Description
The Thunderbolt Legacy P 47 black white aviation poster catches a fighter banking hard directly overhead, wings almost vertical, so the whole underside of the aircraft is turned toward the camera at once.
From below and banking is the angle that shows what this aeroplane actually was. The fuselage is deep, the radial cowling is enormous, and the wing has to be that size because there is a great deal of aircraft to lift. Nothing about it looks lightweight, and nothing about it was.
Reading the Thunderbolt Legacy P 47 black white aviation poster
A single subject against open sky is the most forgiving image in this catalogue to hang, because the sky is the mount. It needs no company, works at any size, and suits a stairwell or a high wall particularly well, where looking up at it repeats the angle the photograph was taken from.
Built to come home
It was among the heaviest single-engine fighters of its war, with a turbo-supercharged radial engine and a reputation for absorbing damage that would have ended a lighter aeroplane, which is why it ended up doing so much ground attack work. The type is documented as the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. Its variant here is not recorded.
