 | NO! Certificate of Airworthiness... But maybe the other one should be removed as well. (  )

 | Ah, but I've gotten better! I can now do fairly accurate lead shots! Still can't turn inside a Zero with the P-38, though - even with speed advantage, combat flaps, and airbrakes... |

| Keep trying to turn inside an A6M wit a P-38L or J would give you the best chance. As for the Baeu, the Japanese nammed it "Wispering Death" yes for the queite engines and it was one hell of a gun platform. Me, B-25J no 75mm gun more .50s. If you count rockets on the Mitchell you should with the other platforms as well. P-61 and P-38, both had the guns and rockest to deal with anything and even the fighters b-26 -lowest combat loss. Also look at the Japanese Ki-43? and a few others. There fighters were the better side but they could hit the ground well.

| Yesh. At least during the Battle of the Bulge, not sure about the PTO... They managed to shoot down a few Stukas, Hs-123's, and Cr.42's... (The Luftwaffe used these last two aircraft as night harrassment aircraft, kinda like the U-2's in the Korean War, as they were obsolete and not suited for much else...) |

| In the PTO the P-61 did a lot of night intrusion, interdiction, and anti-shipping work. Over the Pacific the P-61 did not have a lot of night aircraft targets, but the shipping, and trans were very good targets.
