The P-47's Jug nickname is a shortened version of its full nickname - The Juggernaut - which appropriately enough, in its English usage, means an unstoppable or very powerful force. ?.]Īlthough quite a few sources - erroneously - claim the P-47 was named 'the Jug' because it looked like a Milk Jug (which it doesn't anyway), this is in fact not where the name comes from.
And, btw, I'm still trying to figure out, how its profile resembles that of a milk "jug" (of the time).oh well.I'm sure it does/did.
