P-47D retained by Republic as a development aircraft. Converted into a YP-47M in a bid to produce an aircraft able to catch V-1 buzz bombs and the new German jets. It was next converted into the XP-47N with a longer wet wing to increase range. Photo from: The Robert L. Baseler Fighter Ace Collection/The Museum of Flight
