  14. On big American fighters

    In order not to clog up the current RAF bombing thread, I'd reckon it is better to discuss the merits and shortcomings of big US fighters in a separate thread. The P-38 was drop-tank ready before the 1st production F4U made 1st flight - Feb. vs. June 1942. That, and numbers available means...
