Did the US ever ship P-47s to the Soviets as part of the lend lease agreement and if they did what type? The reason I make this query is that I was over at a friends, the other day, and his son was playing a air combat simulator game called 'IL 2 Sturmovik' but this kid was flying a P-47N with green paint and the Red Star on the wings and fuselage? He( my friend's son) said the plane was part of the games inventory of controllable aircraft. The boy or his father had never heard of 'Lend Lease' so I post this question to some of you who may have some better insight than I. I know we gave the Russian's lots of our second line a/c but P-47s??? Mike IPMS
