Heya Guppy/Dan.

I was wondering If you have P-38G or P-38J Profile of 55th Fighter Group (38th, 338th, and 343rd Fighter Squadron)?  I know they flew P-38H also, but just wondering if you have them?

Dug through all my stuff, including the 55th FG history and only found these birds.

First two are Jack Jenkin's "Texas Ranger".  I'm not positive the 55th ever flew G models from England.  Looks like only H's. I'm wondering if HTC will let folks use the G model to skin other small intake birds?

The bottom one is a J model.

I know that 55th FG was the first equip P-38 Fighters for the 8th Air Force (Well, 55th was second but first one to used in combat in ETO) and I am not too sure what model of P-38 they flew before combat in ETO, but H models was pretty much for 55th FG.

Thanks, Guppy.  :)
