Re: Why the USAAF gave up on the A-36 in favour of the P-47.
In June and July 1944 at least the bulk of the German fighter units in the West were deployed in France and their main opponents were Allied tactical units, and no more the 8th Air Force.
In most cases, the missions of fighters of both sides this summer were the same: ground attack, escort of fighter-bombers and sweep. Allied fighters were still escorting heavy bombers, of course, but the heavy raids were usually not opposed by German fighters over France. So this was a battle seeing German fighters vs Allied fighter-bombers, and the battle was still lost by Germany. |
