Thunderbo|ts Add Punch
To Eighth Air Force Raids

LONDON-The Eighth u. S. Army Air
Force On August 18th completed its first year
of combat in a crescendo of air victories.
One OF the factors contributing to these
victories has been the advent of large num-
bers of Republic Thunderbolt fighters. Since
spring the Thunderbolts have been escort
ing the Eighth's bombers on many raids.
This Pratt & Whitney powered P-47 fighter,
built around a highly supercharged 1000
horsepower Double Wasp engine, can race
up to extreme attitudes with heavy load of
armament, carrying fuel enough for long
range sorties.
In the birthday assault Army BIZ Boeing
Flying Fortresses and B-26 Martin Maraud-
ers escorted by Thunderbolts ragged over
Western Europe, hammering about 20 Naz
air bases, where two-thirds of the fighters and
one-third of the bombers in the Luftwaffe are
concentrated.
The onslaught climaxed year during
which the Eighth >vindicated the American
conception of high altitude precision bombing
by day.
During the year the American bombers
dropped 1872 tons of explosives on Axis
submarine bases, Luftwaffe bases, war indus
tries and transportation facilities In recent
months, the Eighth's attacks came more fre-
quently and more intensively, rejecting the
increased flow of aircraft from American
factories. e ss.sesz .s.as.-ese3.sss..s. ...
In carrying out these missions the big
bombers, because of the effectiveness of their
precision methods, wercsable to sacrifice bomb
tonnage for the added fuel and armament
needed for long-range operations.
Over the year, 1,72S Nazi planes were de-
stroyed at cost of 41o American bombers
Another 671 enemy craft were tagged as
''probables' and $40 more damaged.
How much the advent of long range fighter
protection has meant to bomber crews was ex-
pressed by one of their pilots, telling of
pre-Thunderbolt experience. "On one mission
we were in constant running fight for 2
hours and 20 minutes" he said. I'VE were
attacked head on exactly $50 times. Maybe
you don't think bomber isn't shot up plenty
on party like that"
