Hello
I'm with Ruy in this. IMHO T'Bolts did much of the foundation laying work for the later success. P-47D was also faster than P-51D in high up, at least over 27000ft because its turbo. Of course it had its problems, for ex. rather low critical Mach number (reason for dive recovery flaps for it and for P-38) and both early C/Ds and Ms suffered engine reability problems during the early parts of their careers in UK because of bad corrosion protection for sea-transit and because of problems in engine electronics.
