PictionID:42002509 - Title:Republic XP-47H Thunderbolt Chrysler XIV-2220-1 on display at the New England Air Museum Bradley Field, Hartford CT. The engine first flew on 26 July 1945, mounted on a converted P-47D-15-RE which was intended to serve as the prototype for the new P-47H series using this engine. A second example followed, but the war was already over and the need for a new engine in the jet age was gone. The only other design to select it was the Curtiss XP-60C in 1942, but the engine was so delayed that the P-60 moved onto other engines. - Catalog:15_002995 - - Image from the Charles Daniel's Collection Seversky, Republic and P-47 Aircraft Album.Repository: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive
