Army Air Force P-47 recovered in the Netherlands

Dutch workmen stumbled across the wreckage of a U.S. World War II plane in April during a survey to establish a new industrial site. The aircraft wreckage pictured here was excavated by the Royal Netherlands Air Force and local authorities near the village of Oude-Tonge. It was identified as a U.S. Army Air Forces P-47 Thunderbolt that crashed in 1943 while escorting the withdrawal of allied bombers from a raid on the German city of Emmerich.
