And I firmly believe the P-38 could have performed just as well in the ETO as in the Pacific and helped bring the war in Europe to an earlier close.
I pretty much hate liquid cooled engines and the love the P&W radials, as well as the Grumman Engineers.
I generally feel similar, especially when it comes to platforms like the A-1 Skyraider.
My favorite plane was the F8F that never saw combat.
No doubt the Bearcat would have ruled the skies but it came at the end of a technological line.
F4U Corsair was my favorite radial from WW-II.
Yep I love the hose nose, especially the F2G. It had the Wasp Major, an absolutely gorgeous 4-row P&W radial.
