The P47 was supercharged and turbocharged, however they did not operate independently. Instead, the normal use was to keep the throttle full forward and use the supercharger/turbocharger to change power.
That I did not know, thank you.

The C-130 uses the same approach, prop pitch mostly vs throttles.

Turbo lag not an issue with a Bomber, one way to avoid it is keep it spooled up and use a waste gate.

Now we have variable vane stuff.
