Reviews
The Thunderbolt was not so widely used in the Pacific, nor as successful as it was in NW Europe, but it was used and this book provides a great selection of options for modellers looking for a new theme they might consider for including in any collection of P-47 models. The research behind these profiles is a long-time hobby for the author and I think this is another good reference in this Pacific Profiles book series.
