Won't we need to have a FIAT G.55 first?  ;)

As I recall the torp drop shackle was fully developed for the 38, but the AAC found little call for them at 25,000 feet and so they were not put to use in the field.

There was a   :D  at the end.....

As far as I know the 38 never carried a torpedo into combat. They tried modifying it for that purpose, but it was never finished. That's what you have TBM's for dangit.

OTH, I would love to see the ground strafing version of the P-38. They added 8 more .50 cals in the wing for a total of 12 .50's and a 20mm cannon. *yummy*
