Are there any Hollywood movies where p38s are shown flying?

"A Guy called Joe", later remade by Speilberg into "Always".

And, while it wasn't really a feature, Bill Lear, Jr.


IIRC he did some tests with the Swiss P16 STOL attack/fighter and the
Learjet owes quite a bit to it mainly in the wing.


(The son of the
Lear Radio and Learjet guy) starred in a low-budgeter just postwar
about a typical Los Angeles teenager who just happened to own a P-38.

Of course, he _was_ a typical Los Angeles teenager who happened to own
a P-38. When he entered UPT in the early 1950s, he had over 1,000 Hrs
of P-38 time. (He flew plank-wing F-84s in Germany. I think he was
with the 36th Fighter-Bomber Wing.)
