I don't know how one can say P-47s were in the wrong theater. "Jugs" were present in both theaters in WWII. P-47s did a lot of escort duty for the B-29's all the way from Saipan to their targets in Japan and back. One of the top aces in the Pacific was Lt.Col. Neel Kearby CO of the 348th Fighter group he is credited with 22 kills all flown in a Jug (P-47) he was also awarded the Medal of Honor.
