Re: "technical" question about a P-47 crash
Hello,
I was not there so I cannot tell much but
a similar case occured in my area - as witnessed - involving a strafing P-47 which rammed the trees along the road he fired upon. It seems the angle of dive (your negative climb??) was rather flat (and the pilot focused on the target?); the aircraft 'landed' flattely nearby with the engine projected at - at least 200m - from the fuselage. The unfortunate pilot's body was still strapped inside the cockpit.
