There was other great paint schemes. But a propert GT40 is blue and orangeEither way, dont let my inacuracys distract you, check out the AAP. Its so very worth it.
Part of the issue you guys are experiencing is the due to a change in nomenclature over the years. Early on Tubochargers were called turbosuperchargers.
I have been to Dayton, when I was younger. One of the few things I remember is the B-52 that takes up the entire hangar, and that the nose is so heavy that it is making the sheet metal on the fuselage in front of the wings ripple.
And also, P-38s are the coolest effing planes EVAR. Well, except for the P-51, but that's an obvious one. I have a P-51 mousepad, actually Me=geek.
Live right next to Langley AFB, watch the F-22s all day every day. And no matter how many I see a day, each one makes me proud of our country.

They did. In 1990, William Wyler's Daughter remade his movie, the "Memphis Belle." The plot was fluff, and not at all like the 25th mission, but the flying scenes are pure aviation porn.

Someone needs to find a copy of "The Battle of Britain", too.
