I was never really into the P-38, the whole look of it.

Ohhhh but the Mustang  :-* It's a sexy beast!

P-38 versus the P-51, thats a tough one..........

P-51 is a natural fighter aircraft, P-38 is two aircraft joined together,

I'd say the P-38.............. Unless the baron is involved then it would be fun lol........

YOU FOOLS ITS NO CONTEST!!!

The merlin engine is better than two allisons.  Six .50's are better than 4 .30's and a 20mm.  The stang was more agile, and was a smaller plane (harder to shoot)

If you want to compare two planes, do the Mustang, and Spitfire.  Now theres a great argument

I love them both equally. But I'm in a P-38 mood, so: P-38. ;)

Given a choice I would pick the P-47 every time, awesome aircraft and my favourite US Warbird, but of the two choices it just has to be the Mustang if for no other reson than it got a propper engine once we got hold of it ;)

Everyone loves the P-51.  I like the P-38... I have a thing for "boomed" airplanes I guess. lol  I also love the OV-10 and P-61.  Sexy planes.

Everyone loves the P-51.


Except me. And about 80% of the non-american members here.
