I've been working on the new P-38 model and i went out and got a new book that has some really great color photo's of 20 WW2 planes and while looking over the P38's i notice a great caption and figured i'd share it with you.'The value of the P-38 in the southwest Pacific can be illustrated by an incident relatedat the end of the war by a veteran of the 8th Fighter Group. One day in 1945 cries of distress were heard over the radio somewhere above the China Sea. "My engine's hit, I'm losing coolant - what'll i do?" Savvy P-38 pilots in the air at the time tried to advise the obviously green fellow in distress. "Calm down and feather it." Then came the rejected reply. "Feather, hell. I'm in a P-51!"'
Just figured i'd share it with you guys. The new P-38 is really looking good. I think it will be even better then Jane's.
