Thanks Dan, once again I am impresssed by your vast knowledge. In my own attempt to gain knowledge, I went to the library the other night looking for a book that had technical data of the 38 and other planes. I arrived at our public library at 5:45PM, as I walk in I hear "your public library will be closing in 10 min". Grrr..I grab a book called Fighters of WWII by David Donald (Big picture of a I-16, Ki84, 109, Hurri, and 38 on it) check out my books and rush home. I open to the table of contents and find P-38 on page 161, except on page 161 is thw Meteor . Wow, what a disappointment, I guess I should have got Bombers of WWII!Thanks again,Nathan
I think what they're after is a J to go with the 82nd 38L that Oboe already did. there is an 82nd G that Oboe did as well. A red tail J is probably not one that will be found however as those squadron colored tails are all L models.
