Description
The Jug was an Army Aircorps fighter designed for long range missions. During WW2 it was used to escort bombers from Enland to Germany and back. The aircraft was also used in the ground support roll. The Thunderbolt was an exceptionally tough old bird able to take a lot of punishment. It was a personal priviledge to know a Pennsylvania coal miner's son that flew these big airplanes durning WW2. He was an instructor teaching other pilots going to the combat areas.
