Re: French Air Force fly P-47 Thunderb in WWII?
The problem with the P-47 in French service is pretty much the same as the Spitfire.
In all 449 were delivered by the US, of which only 295 brand new machines under a numbered Lend-Lease "project F".
More were in fact handed over with little or no "red tape", so that it's very difficult to figure out how many were actually used by the French. Moreover, at least 131 P-47s were delivered after WW2.
