Republic P-47 Thunderbolt over Gelsenkirchen

Gelsenkirchen, Germany, 27 miles west of Dortmund, on the Duisburg-Hamm railway has several times been the target of bombing missions of the U. S. Army 8th Air Force, out to blast Nazi communications into nothingness. Thunderbolt, Republic P-47, the 8-gun fighter of the USAAF, leaves a trail of frozen vapor as it flies high cover for the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress below on its way to bomb Gelsenkirchen, Nazi rail center near Dortmund.
