Jim,
Do you know why they got the nick name "Jug"? It wasn't based on "Juggernaut" I have always liked them too!
The P-47 M was really the best of the bunch with ~480 MPH speed at 25K. One of the fastest propeller driven aircraft of the war. The fastest allied production bird. 8 fifties, recoilless rifles, HVAR rockets and bombs.
One bird that could deliver a punch and take it too!
It got the name "Jug" from a milk Jug. Looks like one standing on its nose.
