So, a big truck just drove up and dropped off two giant crates containing one, brand new, factory fresh P-47 Thunderbolt. And now you and 50 of your buddies have to put it together in the field, using nothing more than a few hand tools, a bicycle pump and pieces of the crate it came in. You’d better get to work; the Germans will be here any minute. But, be sure to RTFM first.

Too late cases have already been removed from trucks. Have to work without manual now. Looking at it now would be going out of order, can't have that.

Good thing IKEA didn’t build these things. I can’t imagine the instructions for a P-47 Gööpli.
Reminds me of the Spitfires that were recently found buried in their boxes in Burma.

TWENTY crated Spits?? Holy crap. I sure hope they'll be assembled and flown. That's amazing. Talk about a barn find.

Ugh. I was so close to going for my engine run certification before I cross-trained. At least I was APU certified. It would’ve been neat to be a Crew Chief back then when you could taxi the aircraft around when you needed to move it.

I always thought it amazing that the supercharger system was so long.
