The P-47M was a special high-speed version of the Republic Thunderbolt fighter in WWII. The P-47M was fitted with turbocharged Pratt & Whitney R-2800-57(C) engines. Production of 130 aircraft began in September 1944, and they were rushed to three squadrons of the 56th Fighter Group (56th FG) in Europe. Its maximum speed was 470mph at 30,000 feet, and its design made it suitable as an interceptor of German V-1 bombs. However, it only became fully operational after most of the V-1 launch sites had been overrun
