bhryun Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Many years ago (30) I saw a war movie that used planes that looked like P38's but the planes had duel cockpits insted of one cockpit in the middle. I have no idea who played in it or the name. I do remember it was a very interesting movie. Someone said the plane could have been a P-87 or a F-87. Would you please help me track down this movie? Thank you so much. Joe Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Joe, I can help with the aircraft, but like you the name of the movie is lost in my wayback. The aircraft is a P-(later F-)82. It was a post WW II aircraft designed by North American Aviation as a night fighter. It was essentially 2 P-51s with the fuselages joined by a wing center section. It never saw action but a number were released to ANG units in the early 50's. There was nothing remarkable about the aircraft beyond the sound two Merlin engines make at full chat. Hope someone else can remember the name of the movie. Good luck! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the movie either. The F-82 did in fact see combat during the Korean war, scoring the first aerial victories with the USAF on June 27th, 1950. I hope someone knows the title of this film.
