    The Jug pt. 1- Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
    Dec 26 2025

    It's the third in my Thunderstorm series and we've finally arrived the P-47 Thunderbolt!

    We'll take it from the first halting steps of the P-44 Rocket, to the P-47B, to the teething pains in England and finally to the paddle-bladed and drop-tank equipped P-47C that could escort bombers AND dismantle the Luftwaffe. Enjoy!

  • Republic P-43 Lancer (Thunderstorm Series)

    Republic P-43 Lancer (Thunderstorm Series)
    Dec 12 2025

    It's the second in the series that will lead to the P-47 Thunderbolt! We'll follow the turbulent, evolutionary path that led from Seversky’s pioneering P-35 to the high-flying but flawed Republic P-43 Lancer. This episode covers the awkward “teenage years” of the Republic fighter family — the missteps, the breakthroughs, and the surprising missions flown by a fighter that was already outdated the moment it left the factory.
