About these aircraft
George Bostwick fought in Western Europe, shooting down at least eight aircraft and destroying six ground targets. His P-47M-1-RE is the most advanced modification of the P-47. The improved engine allows the aircraft to retain energy well and not fall apart at high speeds. This fighter features great speed and maneuverability at high altitudes and is armed with eight Browning machine guns.
Ray Wetmore also fought in the European theater, shooting down 21 German aircraft, becoming one of the most successful American aces. His P-51D-10 is capable of ground attack and interception roles, with the aircraft able to take up to 1,500 kg of ordinance. The six 12.7 mm machine guns also have a high ammo count exceeding 2,000 rounds!
