I'm learning that the p-38 lightning has a better reputation that I thought. One p-38 shot down a plane carrying Admiral Yamamoto. The same person who devised the bombing of Pearl Harbor Hawaii. Here are some of the specifications.

Length: 37' 10" (11.53 m)
Height: 12' 10" (3.91 m)
Wingspan: 52' 0" (15.85 m)
Wing area: 328 sq. ft (30.47 sq. m)
Empty Weight: 11780 lbs (5342 kg)
Gross Weight: 14456 lbs (6556 kg)
Max Weight: 15500 lbs (7029 kg)

Can you believe it. The max weight was 15500 kg. that's heavy. I'm getting to where I've shared all the information I can give. But I'm still researching
