Thunderbolt explodes Nazi ammunition truck. A P-47 Thunderbolt heads through the burst of flame and smoke after exploding a Nazi ammunition truck on a highway in Normandy. This series of six action shots was recorded by the automatic cameras on the planes of the attacking pilot, Captain Raymond M. Walsh of Fort Myers, Florida, and Lieutenant Wille L. Whitman of Montgomery, Alabama, following close on the heels of the lead plane of the Ninth U.S. Air Force fighter-bomber squadron.
