tips for using the p47

[kozzm0]

Erich Rudorffer was shot down 16 times including 9 bailouts. He ultimately racked up over 200 kills to become the #7 all-time fighter ace, even considering the different scoring systems used by Germany and other countries. No doubt the Soviets would have killed him if they could, instead of just shooting him down. He's still alive.

Günther Rall, who was the highest-scoring living ace till he died 2 months ago, was shot down 8 times and finally retired from combat when his thumb was shot off by a p-47 pilot. Though he had downed 2 p47's first. But he was returned to combat later even without his thumb. Wounding him wasn't good enough.

Adolf Galland was shot down early in his career over the English Channel but was rescued and would claim 55 spitfires and become chief of the Luftwaffe's fighter wing.
