HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "Dottie Mae," serial number 42-29150, with the code K4-S, was flown by Lt. Henry Mohr of the 511th Fighter Squadron, 405th Fighter Group, United States Army Air Forces, during World War II. The P-47 Thunderbolt, affectionately known as the "Jug," was one of the heaviest and most durable fighters of its era, with a reputation for being a robust aircraft that could sustain significant damage and still bring its pilot home. "Dottie Mae" served in the European Theater of Operations and was involved in several critical missions across France and Germany.
"Dottie Mae" was instrumental in providing close air support during the Normandy invasion, D-Day, and the subsequent breakout operations. The aircraft was equipped for both air-to-air combat and ground attack missions, making it a versatile and feared opponent in the skies over Europe. The P-47D's eight .50 caliber machine guns, combined with its ability to carry bombs and rockets, allowed it to perform interdiction missions that targeted German supply lines, armored vehicles, and railroads. The aircraft's rugged build and powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine gave it an advantage in both high-speed diving attacks and low-level strafing runs.
In the final months of World War II, "Dottie Mae" continued to fly numerous sorties against retreating German forces. On May 8, 1945, the day of Germany's surrender, the aircraft participated in a celebratory flyover. However, "Dottie Mae" met an unfortunate end when it was downed during a training flight after the war's conclusion, crashing into an Austrian lake. For decades, it remained submerged until it was recovered in the early 2000s and meticulously restored to flying condition. Today, "Dottie Mae" stands as a living reminder of the courage and tenacity of the pilots who flew these remarkable aircraft in the face of great danger.
An ideal piece for collectors and aviation enthusiasts, this 1:72 scale model serves as a tribute to the bravery of Lt. Henry Mohr and the countless pilots who took to the skies in defense of freedom during World War II. Add "Dottie Mae" to your collection and relive the legacy of the Thunderbolt, an aircraft that proved vital to the Allied victory in Europe.
