Another thing with P-38G pilots.  While P-38G pilots were hanging around women like these in the Pacific
.  

P-38J pilots were partying with women like this in Europe

Inspired by boo's analysis of those dreaded 190A5 drivers ( :neener:), I took the opportunity to quickly compile a who's who of P-38G drivers from last tour (137).  The overall K/D average for the G Wagon was 1.28.  The following is a list of those who achieved a K/D above the average and had at least 15 kills.

 RedBull -     28/13    =   2.15
 
 
  • Redbull does occasionally fly a man's plane.
 
 

 

Proof positive that Redbull has good taste in aircraft........... Theres hope for you yet son!!!!  :D :aok

Says you.  The PTO 38G pilots were doing just fine thanks.  We took em along for back massages and to take care of the joystick for us on those long flights.


And you keep giving me reasons to post this photo of you in your 38J.  No wonder you need the wep.  You can barely see over the dash! :)

The funny thing about all these photos with women...the plane is such a looker the only way it passes is with a hot dame draped over it. That's like straping a pork chop to a kid so the dog with play with him. Just say'n...

Sounds like the logic of a Luftwaffe flyer who can't get a woman to go anywhere near his bird :)

It most certainly is.  HO'ing was apparently all the rage in the early days.

Actually, the '38 was 'sold' to the American public as a bomber interceptor.  The 'brick' was probably for defense against bomber gunners.
