I happened across "Thunderbolt" by Robert Johnson/Martin Caidin today and re-read the account of Johnson's day of days. If you've never read this story, or ever wondered just how tough the P-47 was, then read Johnson's account here: (below the third pic with the shredded stabalizer)

The following account does not come from the original book and states that the German pilot was "GRUPPEN KOMMANDEUR EGON MAYER — A FIGHTER ACE WITH 100 KILLS". I'm not sure about the validity of this statement.
