Right about that. Yamamoto got a personal taste of them himself.

I was doing an image search for “P-38 diagram” and had to add -walther to find anything related to the plane.

And here I thought Britain was being flooded by global warming.

..yeah Dark, we can hang it from a chain and give it to Rosie O'mouth as a necklace

I can't do that to a P-38, that would be disrespectful to the WWII vets...

no no..I was talking where it lies...(water)

I used to fly those a lot in Aces Over Europe. I learned to really hate Folk Wulf FW 190’s...

I found out a few years ago that one of my Boy Scout leaders flew P-38's & P-51's out of Britain. He's still around but doesn't drive any more. He just had a reunion in Oklahoma last month.

I believe that there is still one P-38 based at Breckenridge Airport (Texas).

I had come across this story years ago ... probably before I knew anything about saving to a computer.

A recent algore article about GREENLAND IS MELTING !!! MELTING, I SAY !! (not the title, but that was the gist of the article) ... made me go look for the Girl.So, the documented Global warming is apparently only (relatively) days old ... 'cause the Girl was not only buried ... but drifted a few miles also.

Facts is facts ... and irrefutable truth is irrefutable truth.

Can’t think of a more beautiful airplane.

Are those the same Allison engines that were used for hydroplane racing in the 50s and 60s?

[goodnesswins]

I thought the oceans were RISING! Or did global warming cause this too????

When I was a kid during WW2, I loved to sketch fighter planes. The P-38 was one of my favorites. I daydreamed about flying one some day.

Never did achieve that, but joined he Army instead during the Korean War.

" besides the P-38 on my keyring, and the P-38 in the gun safe.;)"

I got it. I don't have one in my safe though.

Maybe they’ll call it Jonah. As in Jonah, swallowed by Wales.

I’ve got one on my key ring as well. Best flying can opener around!

“Allison engines”....and they were used in early monster dragsters.

I also saw an Allison trike at the Oakland Roadster Show around 1970. Uh...don’t think it actually ran. If it did, the rider was one baaaad dude.
