49th Bomb Wing Republic F-84G Thunderjets attack a North Korean convoy during the Korean War.

The Republic F-84 Thunderjet was an American turbojet fighter-bomber aircraft. Originating as a 1944 USAAF proposal for a "day fighter", the F-84 first flew in 1946. Although it entered service in 1947, its early life it was plagued by structural and engine problems but with the introduction of the definitive F-84G in 1951 most of these early issues were resolved.
The Thunderjet became the USAF's primary strike aircraft during the Korean War, flying 86,408 sorties and destroying 60% of all ground targets in the war as well as eight Soviet-built MiG fighters. The F-84 also became the first USAF fighter to utilize aerial refueling.

Founded in 2014, Hangar 7 Art produces historically accurate military aviation prints, apparel, fabrics, commissioned works and other merchandise by Australian born artist Mark Donoghue. “After being a long time collector and researcher of WWII aviation. And starting with nothing more than a passion for my subject, imagination, and few basic computer skills. I began producing aviation artworks. What has evolved is a fusion of photography and various digital art techniques, to bring to life my minds eye view of 20th century military aviation and aerial combat. I find there is a beauty and majesty on the canvas in which these pioneer aviators endured, and inflicted so much horror.” - Mark Donoghue
