I believe the P-47M was the fastest Jug. Powerplant boosted, otherwise same as a D model.

The P-47N had a constant-chord insert in the wing root, and the elliptical tip squared off to give the same span, but a few more square feet area. It was the long-range model for Pacific ops, IIRC, not as fast as the M.
