My uncle flew combat in the P-38 in the MTO. He earned his 50 mission crusher, came home , and became a civilian again. I loved hearing him tell us of his experiences. I think that it was the highlight of his life, in spite of the challenges of being in combat and seeing fellow pilots killed. He went through a brief period of depression upon his return home, because of the change from the adrenaline rush of combat and the task of "saving the world", to just being another regular Joe. It was an adjustment for him.

On one of these You tube they interviewed a pilot that flew 38s in combat in the Pacific the run ways were so short and the 38 was so laden with ordance and fuel he had to push down on the brakes with both feet with his back against the seat get full power up and let loose the brakes to get it off the ground in time to clear the field . He messed up his back because of this after the war flying P 38s he went into Accounting now talk about and adjustment . You know these dudes missed that adrenaline he had to be depressed from such a change

Thanks so much. Every type of war bird had (and has) its own distinct sound. The P-38 is no exception. Its hum, purr and growl, especially the turbocharged version, is its voice. My dad was a P-38 pilot in World War 2. He flew photo recon over Europe. My mother had a cousin who was a P-38 mechanic in the Pacific. The P-38 stirs my up like no other. Again, my thanks.

Note the counter rotating props. Earlier versions of the P-38 did not have the advantage of this design, which added approximately 30 knots of speed. In addition, later versions in the Pacific theater of operations were delivered unpainted as camouflage painting was no longer as important as the weight saved (coinciding with ever increasing air superiority), and those versions were, of course, a beautiful glinting silver! In my personal opinion, all P-38’s were, and are, absolutely gorgeous, as is Ruff Stuff! ❤️

The *ONLY* P-38's built without counter rotating propellors and engines were the few that were built for the British, who requested that all engines and propellors rotate clockwise, and the turbochargers and attending systems be deleted. Performance and handling for the aircraft were poor, the contract was never completed, and the Army Air Corps graciously accepted the planes built for the British, and used them as trainers. All other P-38 aircraft, including the XP-38, had counter rotating propellors and engines. The counter rotating propellors and engines did not affect speed. What it did do was create a "torque neutral" high performance aircraft.

Considering the XP-38, with its inward-spinning props, made 410 mph on its dash from Ohio to New York-- propellor orientation did nothing to affect the speed of the design.

Can't imagine the feeling of being allowed to fly such a rare and magnificent aircraft! Great video. Also, another example of an unassuming man who reveals something you never would have expected. This reminded me of an experience I had a long time ago when Petaluma airport had just been paved and the only building was an old house that was being used as the only FBO on the field. There was this quiet older guy named Ray. He hung around a lot but didn't say much. He didn't fly, though he would occasionally make a comment that suggested he had flown. I pretty much discounted Ray as just a wannabe pilot that never got his act together. A few years later, I came across Ray working in the local hardware store and stopped to say hello. After a few questions he started telling me his story. This quiet man, who I had so easily discounted, had flown P-38s in the Pacific during the war. Afterwards he flew many other military aircraft. After leaving the military, he bought a Pitts and flew air shows all over the country for years. I left that hardware store feeling thoroughly ashamed of myself for arrogantly discounting this war hero and amazing pilot. I could have learned so much from him if I had just taking the time to get to know this small, quiet, gentleman. It taught me a lesson about judging people...

There is nothing else like it - so please know whereof you speak.

As a kid a few times I had the privilege of accompanying my Dad to work night shift mechanic for Braniff International. One of the old mechanics had been a USAAC fighter crew chief on Guadalcanal. He soberly told me about how at first when they flew P-39s and P-40s they would send them all out to attack the Japanese - but they never got all of them or their pilots back after a mission... sometimes they didn't get half of them back. And then he would brighten up. He'd say how it was a "different story" when they got P-38s - "man we'd send 'em all out and here they would all come back - out of ammo, - some on flying on one engine - but they were giving 'em HELL and lived to tell the tale !" So, yeah - I alway did share his affection for these old warrior-planes.

Jeff Ethell made a 40-minute startup takeoff and in-flight video of him flying a P-38 back in the 90's. It's on VHS and I think there is a copy available on U-Tube. Watching him going through the before start checklist and fuel selector settings was interesting, a complex airplane. The video cameras back then were big, I think it was mounted to the seat frame over his right shoulder. The takeoff acceleration was amazing, about 12 seconds to unstick the nosewheel, almost as soon as the throttles were full forward, he was flying.

What you mentioned about the turbochargers being on that airplane; you meant they were operational, right? I talked with a pilot at an air show back around 2005 at our local airport who had flown a P-38 to the show. I was tracing the intake flow from the horns through the ducting to the engine (in the main gear wells) and noticed it didn't go through the turbos and asked him about it. He said they bypassed the turbochargers for two reasons. One was they didn't need the power for airshow-level flight demos or for regular flight; Typically they stayed at altitudes low enough to not need the boosted airflow, and that it reduced the stress on the engines, making them a bit easier to maintain. I don't remember which P-38 it was. I got to see "Ruff Stuff" as well as "Glacier Girl" at Oshkosh in 2008 and 2014. The P-38 in any variant is my favorite WWII warbird.

Great stuff by here! An early G model, type that flew the intercept of Admiral Yamamato fateful flight 🙄. A truly revolutionary fighter & must be quite the thrill / honor to fly! To be able to fly the best US air superior fighter in 1943 in the P-38, of the 1960's with the F-4's and 1980's with the F-15E's Mr. Purdue has quite the resume! Best wishes to Scott (safe flying..) and all in the New Year!

Still to this day one of the most amazing looking machines ever made, can you imagine the first enemy pilot to come across one.

amazing how quickly and willingly the engines started..no clatter, smoke, sputtering, backfiring, multiple attempts like with radial engines...

Three Pilots come to mind in a very excellent order: Scott, Juan and Dan Gryder. All the rest at wannabe's despite their Utubie claim to compare.
