The resulting explosion bowed the wings up, punched shrapnel holes in the floor of the cockpit and damaged the engine covering the canopy with oil. He bailed out over the English Channel after the engine died and was picked up by a British destroyer. He said if he had been in a P-51 he would have not been alive to tell the story.
            Spitfire pilots used to joke that p47s were so big that their american allies could just dodge bullets by diving back and forth in the cockpit.

              I have sat in one recently, I was surprised how cramped it was. The plane may be large but the cockpit is surely not.

                      "A P-47 flown by Lt. Richard Sulzbach of the 364th Fighter Squadron, 350th Fighter Group, 12th Air Force on April 1,1945. Lt. Sulzbach had a little run-in with some trees while on a strafing run over Italy. He was able to fly the plane 120 miles back to base and land safely. It's a real testament to how tough the P-47 was."
