P-47 GROUND ATTACK TRAINING The P-47 Thunderbolt was an aircraft that excelled at both roles for which it was designed. As a dogfighter, few enemies could master it. And as a ground support/attack machine, the Jug's eight .50's packed a mean punch. The P-47 was ideally suited for the fighter/bomber role because of its large ordnance capacity and ability to sustain heavy damage and keep flying. YOUR MISSION Your P-47 is lined up with the Luftwaffe airfield at St. Omar. Use the Thunder- bolt's eight .50-caliber machine guns and the two 1000 lb. bombs mounted under the wings to destroy as much of this German airfield as you can (including the four Bf 109s on the ground there). Your P-47 has unlimited ammunition, including bombs.
