Who said the P-47 is better? High speed interceptor that was good AG yes, more suited to the high speed environment of Korea, no. The Mustang was crap compared to the MiG with a decent hit and run pilot. But the P47 is slower and bigger and not 30mm-proof regardless of stronger build.
How long did the F-80's last?
