That's a good argument

Im pretty sure every WWII aircraft had a landing light.
Just because you can't see them in AH, doesn't mean they're not there

The P-51 for istance had it's landing light in the left wheel well, it'd be lowered when the gears were lowered.

Wrong...
Just a few that did not...

F4U-1C, F4U-1D, F6F-3, F2A, A20-G, Mossy

Some that did...

P38-J, P38-L, P39, P47, P51, Hurricane

The ones that did not have them may have gotten them added at some point in the field, but they did not have them off the production line.

You'll also notice the planes listed as having them were also night fighters. And those that did not have them in many cases also did not have instrument panel lights.

Thanks for the heads-up. Would still enjoy seeing landing lights though. It would be a great addidtion to the game!
