I don't have the P47 but at times I was wiping the gear off my TF mustang on the flair, then I spent a coupel of afternoon on the OSH flight line watching the wabirds land, almost 90% where landing on the mains first with power, cutting power and then the tail drops.

Now I drop the flaps, grove into the descent angle and fly to the ground with power on onto the mains, just enough up to lift the nose up a touch just before the mains touch down,
no flair to a 3 point landing for me any more.

Since I adopted this approach, I must have over a 100 landings with out pooching one.
Maybe this will help.

ps. - I'm about at this angle when the mains touch, it rolls out some.
