What a machine.

Didn’t that fella get killed several years ago?

It was also the only fighter in the US arsenal to use a yoke instead of a stick.

American engineering, ingenuity and drive showed the world what we are made of. The P-38 was an extension of the "can do" attitude we had. We need to re-capture this.

Great airplane. Kelly Johnson was to Lockheed, what Tom Hoover was to Chrysler. Could you imagine the cars we would have had if Chrysler had of hired him?

Would be great for that type of attitude and drive to come around again but I highly doubt it since too much in society today is me first and Frick the rest. The population would truly have to believe in the Country or State first, and themselves second.

And then lets not forget the Mega Global corporations and their only concern about ever growing profits for themselves and the share holders....

Yeah back then we made Everything that we needed or invented.

Without profits companies don't survive. Or employ people. Or build planes.
