P38 is perhaps the worst airplane of WWII.
Between its limited range of 2,200ish miles at 30,000 feet, its limited speed of only 414 mph, 2,800 feet a min climb rate, ceiling of only 30,000 - 45,000 feet, munitions limited to only torpedo's, rockets, bombs up to 1,000 lbs ea, .50 cal and 20mm MG's and Cannons only firing from the nose fairing practically making convergence useless since it only shot straight out from the pilots perspective, and a very limited production run of only about 9,500 aircraft.. its almost embarrassing to claim it has a fan club.
Now the Douglas TBD Devastator, now that was an airplane to be proud of. But I personally am a founding member of the "LAGG" Society, celebrating the LAGG-1 and -3, both fine examples of "Lakirovannii Garantirovannii Grob"
