Title: P-38 Armored windscreen
Post by: Treize69 on November 21, 2005, 08:41:42 PM

I wish the windscreen in game was this well modelled visually. This was a direct hit from an AA shell, pilot made it safely home. Wounded, bloody face and his eyes "looked like cherry tomatoes", but any landing...

Amazingly, the shattered armored windscreen is still easier to see out of than our AH version of the P38G.   :D

Where did you get that picture from, btw?

ID'd in the 20th FG history as from the 38 of Col. Wilson of that Group.

Also found it in a 44th FS history from the Pacific.  Not attributed to anything but a USAF photo but clearly the same image.

Since Treize posted it, it's gotta be from the 20th FG stuff :)

Quit picking on my 38G btw! :)

Picking on it Hell, he flies the damned thing without mercy, and kills everything within a 5 sector radius. I have a hard enough time getting kills to begin with, if he's there I just waste ammo and collect assists.
