Description
P47 – Thunderbolt
D-Day Train-busters
A primary task during the D-day operation was to deny the German forces the ability to react quickly and move units as required. The P47 squadrons were especially suited to this mission profile and roamed all over northern France attacking rail infrastructure and train rolling stock. The weather, with low cloud and poor visibility, did not materially affect these sorties and much damage was done to the French rail system. The P47s had carried out Operation Chattanooga successfully.
