My father crew chiefed an A26 Light Attack Bomber during WWII. A Brigadier nabbed him for state side air crash inspection duty and he never went over seas. He told me, at the time he was upset. Later he realized how lucky he was not to fly into combat in that plane.

For myself, my favorite plane is the one home.

Speaking of P-38's, there was a PBS documentary of a recent recovery of a P-38 buried under 200 feet of ice in Greenland. They tunneled down to the plane, melted out a cavern where the plane was located, disassembled it, brought it up the tunnel, and flew the parts back to the states for re-assembly.
