P-40 should be one of the tops as it was a top allied success story. Read General Chenault's Flying Tigers.

I would say from there P-38. It was a incredible plane!

if you get that chance read this book good story and spooky
I read a book with the almost an identical plot from the 60's. I cant remember the name but it was about a spitfire pilot who went missing in action over the channel in '41.

Subsequently, when his former squadron was under heavy attack and heavily outnumbered, an extra plane would appear out of the sun attacking the germans and shooting them down with ease. None of the squadron could identify the planes pilot as it had no markings (other than roundrils). No german pilots could get close enough to shoot it, and it always managed to evade any attacks on it. As soon as the battle was in the RAF's favour the plane would dissapear in to the coulds and not be seen again.

The story then takes off (pardon the pun) with the "quest" of one pilot to discover if the plane was his old squadron buddy, and what really happened to him on his fateful flight.

Lockheed P-38J and L models lighting FTW, nuff said.

2x.50 cal 2x .30 and 1x 37mil cannon in the nose she packs a punch and no worry about converging bullets from wings its right in front of you

Fork tailed devil is grace personified with the twin Allison super charged 12's screaming she is nasty.

Now that i think about it, IL-2 will most likely have lots of DLC content. And, as long as it isn't like Ace Combat 6 were most of the planes have some japanese anime person on it, which i hate, im more then ok...personally no unrealistic stuff is also OK, but then again, it would be fun. My friend baught the ANIME F-22 not knowing what it was, as soon as we started flying, he just went "WTF, Why is their this ANIME person on my wing, what a waste of money...****!!!!"

Do you, or do you not, agree that the GAU-8 would fit right in this game?

"Good plane, but would get chewed up by any 109 if not flown by a well enough pilot." <---- Comment said by a P-38 Ace (Robin Olds)
