*Fecha: 03/07/2025*
## Introducción
El Monumento Republic P-47 Thunderbolt en Curitiba, Brasil, es un poderoso testimonio de la contribución de la nación a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el valor de sus aviadores. Conocido localmente como el “trator voador” (tractor volador) e internacionalmente como el “Jug”, el P-47 Thunderbolt fue un robusto y fuertemente armado avión de combate que jugó un papel crucial en la Campaña de Italia. Este monumento, ubicado de manera prominente en la Praça do Expedicionário junto al Museu do Expedicionário, conmemora los logros técnicos y militares del P-47 y honra la valentía de los pilotos de la Fuerza Expedicionaria Brasileña ([Tripomatic](https://tripomatic.com/en/poi/republic-p-47-thunderbolt-poi:6140463); [Jambock](https://www.jambock.com.br/v7/index.php?option=com_content%20&view=article&id=67&Itemid=185&chave=11)).
Los visitantes pueden explorar un avión P-47 meticulosamente restaurado, exhibiciones educativas y placas conmemorativas. El sitio es gratuito, accesible durante todo el año y da la bienvenida a los entusiastas de la historia, los fanáticos de la aviación y los viajeros interesados en el patrimonio militar de Brasil. Esta guía detalla los horarios de visita, las direcciones, las atracciones cercanas, los eventos especiales y los consejos prácticos para su visita ([Museu do Expedicionário](https://www.tribunapr.com.br/noticias/curitiba-regiao/aviao-museu-do-expedicionario-completa-50-anos-curitiba/); [Smithsonian Magazine](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/why-p-47-thunderbolt-world-war-ii-beast-airways-ruled-skies-180976316/)).

## Antecedentes Históricos del P-47 Thunderbolt
El Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, diseñado por Alexander Kartveli para Republic Aviation, es uno de los aviones de combate más icónicos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Impulsado por el motor Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp, el P-47 fue elogiado por su durabilidad, potencia de fuego y adaptabilidad. Su diseño resistente le permitió sobrevivir a daños graves, y sus ocho ametralladoras de calibre .50 lo hicieron formidable tanto en el combate aire-aire como en las funciones de ataque terrestre ([Smithsonian Magazine](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/why-p-47-thunderbolt-world-war-ii-beast-airways-ruled-skies-180976316/); [pt.wikipedia](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_P-47_Thunderbolt)).
La Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB) de Brasil operó P-47 durante la Campaña de Italia, apoyando las operaciones terrestres aliadas y ganando un lugar distinguido en la historia militar ([historiadafab](https://historiadafab.rudnei.cunha.nom.br/2021/01/07/republic-p-47-thunderbolt/)). El monumento en Curitiba conmemora este capítulo vital y el legado de los pilotos brasileños que volaron estos aviones.
