One of the stepping stones that would produce everyone’s favourite milk jug of destruction the P-47 T-Bolt

Also led to the Re.2005 somehow

A great museum and well worth a visit.

I have been there numerous times. It's always a fun time.

Built by another russian engineer that fled from commies after revolution. Same as Sikorsky.

It's almost like its saying 'when I grow up, I want to be the angel of death.'

It's not really weird per se, it's just a Chibi P-47!

Yeah, the weirdest thing about the P-35 is how painfully normal it is, especially knowing what it is a few design iterations away from being.

The one in this development timeline that really fascinates me is the P-43 Lancer. Serving the RAAF and USAAF as a long range and high altitude reconnaissance aircraft it deserves wider recognition.
I'd love to see one in a museum, but as they were all scrapped in 1944, that's a real shame. Mind you, if they can resurrect other 'lost' WWII fighters, why not this one, especially as it is powered by a R1830 Twin Wasp and there are plenty of those still around.

Good comment. It would be possible to build a replica P-43 around a twin wasp, but there needs to be some amount of original aircraft material included to qualify as a restoration. Maybe there is a Lancer fuselage hiding out in a jungle somewhere waiting to be found.

I always wondered what a P-47 puppy looked like.
