In game the P38. I started out a Spit dweeb due to a long fascination with the history of the Spitfire. Got to know some good 38 sticks and learned a lot. Scenarios and squad stuff kept it to the 38 and with the arrival of the 38G it wasn't going to change
My fascination with P38 pilots and units was due to AW and AH. Not prior to.
Outside the game it's been Spitfire XIIs and the pilots of 41 and 91 Squadrons since 1980
Some of the Spit XII pilots of 41 Squadron debriefing in the summer of 43 at Friston
The 90s brought the B24 and the 454th BG and the Richard Fry crew. They went down over Vienna February 14, 1945. I got to research the crew for the brothers of both the co-pilot and pilot who were killed.
And a buddy in AW put me on to the Guynn crew after a guy found an ID bracelet on a French beach and wanted to know the story. I got lucky and found the story of that crew that went down April 27, 1944 so the B17 and the 447th BG mean a lot to me. It's always about the people more then the machines in the end.
