P38.  The Pacific Aces use to cut one engine and trick Zeros into coming after them.  Fired up the engine and give them a surprise.

In their era they were great aircraft, fast agile and lethel. Much the same as the fighters and fighter/bombers of today. All that being said I think that the fast and furious are good but my favorite modern machine has got to be one of the ugliest, especially if you are on the receiving end, and slowest killers in the air.

The Warthog....

I cannot tell from the pics very well, but it might have the wing speed brakes that the dive bomber version had, the A-something-or-other (36, maybe?).
