I believe thats an F-5?
Dumb question time - Whats the difference between the F-5 and P-38?

The F-5 was an unarmed reconnaissance version of the P-38. The guns in the nose were removed to make room for cameras.
The F-5 was a further development of the F-4 and had 5 camaras instead of 4 used in the F-4. There were about 162 of the F-4A built. The F-5B was based off of the J model P-38 and had an autopilot. There were about 200 of them built. The F-5C was just a conversion of the P-38J to F-5B standard but with improved camaras and about 123 were converted. The F-5E was the same as the F-5C pretty much but about 705 P-38J's were converted to this aircraft. The F-5F was just a converted P-38L. The F-5G was also a converted P-38L with a redesigned nose to accomodate different kinds of camaras.

I don't know about that. big cowling with black/white checks, a dark green over sky blue. Pretty bloody striking compared to the later all aluminum silver.........yuk !
