P-47 tank busting during the battle of the bulge

[Tony Kambic]

I am currently re-reading John Toland's "Battle" about the bugle. Haven't read it in about 40 years. He reports that Peiper's group lost 10 tanks and half-tracks to the IX Tactical Air Command Fighter-Bombers on the evening of the 17th near Trois Points. I researched a little but could not identify which type of aircraft were involved.

Thanks Tony, that's a good starting point

Chapter 7 - The Ardennes (pp.131-44). Has numerous accounts of tank-busting by P-47 Thunderbolts during the so-called Battle of the Bulge with the fighter group and usually the fighter squadron identified along with the date, place and the number of tanks destroyed.

Larry, that sounds like exactly what I need! Unfortunately I can only find a used copy on Amazon.com but they don't ship to the UK

I appreciate your heads up though, I'll keep my eyes open for a copy elsewhere.
