JON A. BRUNKER COLLECTION

REPUBLIC AIRCRAFT

As a Kid in the 50's I used to write away to all the aircraft manufacturers asking for photos.
Republic were the most forthcoming & here are those that I have kept for 40 odd years.
They are in 1024 X 768 format - so they may take a while to download.
Also on the backs of most of them were publicity flyers attached, most have disappeared over the years
but there are still a few left, just click on the link to read them.

Republic P - 47C 2 RE Thunderbolt

From my recollection I believe that the person standing in front of the Thunderbolt is the designer Alexander Kartveli.

There is a stamp on the back of the photograph that says the following:
Republic P - 47 Thunderbolt - Stratosphere Fighter - Dive Bomber - Ground Stafer - Long Distance Escort

Republic Rainbow

In my humble opinion
still one of the 'prettiest' aircraft ever designed.
