The restoration of our P-47, Serial #42-25068, meant we could get our hands on material to produce a limited number of PlaneTags from this Thunderbolt. Accepted by the USAAF in September 1943, our P-47 served as a training aircraft for both the Air Force and Aero Industries Technical Institute. Spending time in the limelight with The Fighter Collection in Duxford, UK as well as Comanche Warbirds of Houston, TX, this P-47 was also featured on the big screen in the films \u003ci\u003eFighter Attack\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Monuments Men\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou too can own a piece of aviation history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"600\" width=\"480\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1353\/7931\/files\/Curtiss-P-47-Thunderbolt-Mult-3_480x480.jpg?v=1590680313\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCurtiss P-47 Thunderbolt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curtiss\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial #: \u003c\/strong\u003e42-25068\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrew:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.00 m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWing Span:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.42 m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.47 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanes Built:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15,636 (Curtiss made 354)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Speed: \u003c\/strong\u003e697 km\/h\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombat Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,300 km\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRate of Climb:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.2 m\/s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArmament: \u003c\/strong\u003eM2 Browning Machine Guns\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBombs: \u003c\/strong\u003eUp to 1,134 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDISCLAIMER\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandmade Aviation Tags\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlaneTags are: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthentic - made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnique -  each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCollectible - each one is numbered in a limited edition and comes attached to a display card. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVersatile - comes with a durable metal ring, strong enough to attach to luggage or keys or display.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Important Notice – Please Read Carefully\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaneTags are made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal.
