  • WRONG!!!!! The A-10 of WWII was the P-47 Thunderbolt. As a matter of fact, the A-10 is named the Thunderbolt II, not warthog. That is just a nickname.

  • I've heard I can come hear and repeat obvious things to make myself sound like i know something .

  • @crpdst2003 actually, no...that's an Allison engine....the Merlin equipped P-40's didn't have the top-side air scoop (that would be the F and L models)

  • @TopGunSGA Yes, you're right I got it reversed...... finally dug out my P-40 profile booklet which had all models...

    the Mustang success prevented the last P-40's marks being adapted but overall it was a huge success...

    faster, better armed, and sturdier, tactics soon had it dominating its former foes...

  • @crpdst2003 No, that's an Alison feature, Merlins (even Packard built ones) didn't have that. All you have to do is look at the P-51A which had the Alison aswell, that has the same upper cowling scoop while all Merlin engined ones didn't

  • see the small upper scoop on top of cowling....means that it is a Packard built Merlin equipt engine....

  • Superb aircraft. Was in the fight from day 1 to the end. Good at ground attack and although sometimes outclassed in air to air to combat, in good hands it still could hold its own. Beautiful as well,...only spitfire has better looks.

  • @bsg1206 tell that to the Avg

  • The A-10 was never in WWII. The reason it is named Thunderbolt II is because it was made by the same people who made the P-47 Thunderbolt, which was used during WWII.

  • Check out my P40 videos

  • Well I really think the P-40 is the A-10 of WWII because the P-47 was far more capable as an air-to-air fighter. The P-40, while still capable of dogfighting if it had to, really only excelled at ground attack roles.
