This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Looks like a PR mod to me. Is that a camera port on the side?
Looks warweary, and note the bubbletop in the background.
That's just an access panel. There were no P-47 recon models. It's not war weay just rode hard! OD and NMF a/c flew side by side. Many 9th AF fighter groups were still operating razorbacks on VE-Day.

I ran across some information that said that because the "Malcom Hood" canopy was in such short supply, they started taking side windows from B-24's and attaching them to the P-47's. That's where the bubble window came from.
