There isn't a lot of info on the P-38, the P-47 or the P-51 but just
enough to verify that they were still in service in 1950 at the

they stated that the buried many of them to get the new jets.

You should email these folks to help them set their records straight:

You do it if it's that important to you. History is written by the winners
and we all know that there is only the history that we are fed. Sort of
like, "What was the real reason behind the Civil War". History says that it
was over slavery (depending on whom you speak to), the North says it was
about the Secession of the South. But the South says it was over the one
sided economics of the day. It was definately NOT slavery as Lincoln vetoed
the Emancipation the first time through.

But you keep reading those books and stay inside.

First, it wasn't a book but an actual email from someone who has access to
that information which red posted which (surprise surprise) showed you to
be wrong.

Second, "history is written by the winners" doesn't apply here as it's US
military history we're talking about and last I checked the US military
wasn't fighting itself during WWII.

Third, if you're so brain dead as to take someone who *knows* what you're
talking about as a bunch of crap it's no wonder you've been laughed at from
one end of Usenet to the other.

Fourth, why are you trying to change the subject to the Civil War when we're
talking about the P-38 and your claim it was still in active service after
1949 when the Air Force itself says you're wrong?
