Jesse C. Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 With a kill ratio of 11.5:1 in the pacific, it just feels good to think that it was a sign of fear and respect the Japanese had for this plane to call it "Whistling Death". Granted it screams of Western propagandistic romanticism of the 40s, but who am I to question history books. :rolleyes: https://bshistorian.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/whistling-whispering-fork-tailed-death-from-above/ More popular names for it where "The Ensign Eliminator" "Hog" "Hose Nose" And yes, there is also no proof that the Germans called the P-38 "The Fork Tailed Devil" Disney Art Squadron Patch 2 Quote Link to comment
