A German Ace Fired 200 Rounds Into One American Fighter — Then Something IMPOSSIBLE Happened
He emptied every gun he had into one battered American fighter. What the German ace did next, no one who heard the story afterward could quite believe. This is the story of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt over Europe — the seven-ton "Jug" that British pilots called a death trap and German pilots mocked as a flying barrel. Follow Robert S. Johnson, who flew home over two hundred bullet holes on June 26, 1943; Hubert Zemke and the 56th Fighter Group, "Zemke's Wolfpack"; Don Blakeslee and the 4th; and the "Hell Hawks" of the 365th over the Ardennes. From the first disastrous sweeps of 1943 to Operation Cobra and the Battle of the Bulge, the most ridiculed fighter in the European Theater became the one the Luftwaffe learned to fear. Sources are listed below. Which moment stayed with you — Johnson's flight home, or the ace who ran out of ammunition?
