This particular P-47D-40 RA was delivered to the USAAF in July 1945 and served with various National Guard and Air Force Reserve units until it was sent to Peru. The aircraft was purchased by a collector from Peru in 1969 and was sent to Harlingen, Texas for restoration. This aircraft experienced two crashes and after the second, it was restored. It is one of only 3 P-47s with a working turbocharger.
