I read abook along time ago called "Thunderbolt" by Bob Johnson. He had 28 kills during the war, all flying P-47s. At one point he was getting shot up by an FW190 but his plane kept flying. The German pilot hammered him with cannon fire, and confused that the plane didn't go down, came up along side him. lokked him over, went behind again and pounded him some more. again, the P47 wouldn't go down, so he came up again, shook his head and peeled off back to base. Bob made it back to England and landed safely.
Years ago, I met a guy who's license plate was "P47 JUG" who flew with Bob Johnson's squadron.
