Which was tougher: P-47 or F4U?

Posted by John Ceglarek on Wed Jan 28, 2004 08:45:17 AM

I ran into a slight dispute on another board as to which aircraft was "tougher". I seem to remember a USAAF study in which the Army Air Force conceded that the F4U had a stronger airframe than the P-47, but I can't find any reference to it now. Does anybody else remember this, or am I dreaming?

Thanks,

John
