Partially incorrect photo caption
Please note that this caption, although taken "as is" from the original website, is partially incorrect. The plane depicted is a the "N" variant of the P-47, clearly indicated by its "square" wingtips, however it cannot be flying over the Western Europe theatre of WW2 as cited. The reason is that the P-47N variant of the "Thunderbolt" was developed to provide long-range fighter escort to the bombers bombers attacking Japan, and was used only in the Pacific Theatre in WW2. Moreover, the picture seems to be of the P-47N prototype, as indicated by the designation XP-47N in its tail, where X indicated "eXperimental" (prototype) in the nomenclature used then by the USAAC (later USAF).
