the P-38 could probably carry about 12 people, just depends where abouts on the fuselage you strap them

ah but here's the trick, the mossie could carry them INSIDE the plane, not strapped to the outside, and because the mossie had a greater wing area, lodgic suggests that the mossie could carry more on the outside..............
