I’ve actually spoken with some old P-38 pilots, and to a man, they say that while it was one hot fighter, it was very unforgiving and could kill you if you weren’t paying attention to its twin engines almost 100% of the time.
Yeah, if something went wrong, that would be a heck of a lot of asymetric thrust.
don’t give me a P-38
the props, they counter-rotate
they’re scattered & sittin’
from Burma to Britain
don’t give me a P-38
NO
give me operations
way out on some lonely atoll
for I am too young to die
I just wanna grow old
