Re: could a "badly smoking" P47 ...stop to smoke?
The P-47 could have taken severe damage to the engine, including destruction of one or more cyclinders - which would explain loss of power, but not stopping engine, and oil burning around the damaged cylinders..
slow turn could be due to rudder damage or pilot loss of control due to wounds - but if only rudder, ailerons could offset directional control.
