Well - my granddad shot down two with a Fw 190 D-9. Anyway you Americans won the war...

Thank God this BS is history.

P.S. The most famous pilot of a P-38 was a Frenchman: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Whatr a beautiful machine. It would be one of the great pleasures of a lifetime to be at the controls during flight.
