A day and the life of a P47 pilot over Guadalcanal. This is the story of "Bomb Babe", and her pilot.
Even though the P47's combat debut wasn't until April 1943, it flew more than half a million sorties in Europe and the Pacific. The P47s would claim nearly 4,000 enemy aircraft, 9,000 trains, 86,000 trucks and 6,000 armored vehicles; all is evidence of its great airground role.
