The Seversky Aircraft Corporation was in trouble during the late 1930s. Despite a series of innovative and advanced designs during the middle part of the decade, by 1933 the company's fortunes were waning. US Government difficulties with Alexander de Seversky — the company founder — a degree of mismanagement, and competition from other aircraft manufacturers all combined to force the company into a downward spiral. In April of 1938 the Seversky Aircraft Corporation's board of directors forced Seversky out of the day-to-day operation of the company and elected W. Wallace Kellet company president while Alexander Kartvelli was elected vice president. The company's fortunes almost immediately began to turn around and, by September of 1939, the company was renamed Republic Aircraft Corporation. The seeds that would grow into the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt had already been planted.
