It's the last in my Thunderstorm series and The Jug reaches full maturity — evolving from a high-altitude bomber escort into one of the most feared ground-attack aircraft of the Second World War.
This episode follows the Jug’s constant evolution, its changing role alongside the P-51 Mustang, and its transformation into flying artillery that helped dismantle the Wehrmacht across Europe and beyond.

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!

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fighter family — the missteps, the breakthroughs, and the surprising missions flown by a fighter that was already outdated the moment it left the factory.

Soooo... why did the RAF have a fighter with NO forward firing guns??? Today I look at Boulton Paul's Defiant and the concept of the "turret fighter".
