Republic P-47D-21 Thunderbolt - No.9 Squadron, Royal Dhimari Air Force, 1945

With the war in Europe at an end the early Summer of 1945 saw the transfer of equipment from Allied Forces to Dhimar, typical of which were war-weary P-47D's from the USAAF 9th Air Force. By early September 1945 a three-squadron wing of Dhimari P-47D's had been formed at Mosak and began to clear the skies over the Al'Samara region with long-range fighter sweeps followed by fighter-bomber sorties in support of a resurgent Dhimari Army.
