Since we've gone off track here, I will say that our taste in aircraft is pretty much in lockstep. The P-47 and P-38 vie for top billing in my favorites list (but as a Lockheed guy, the Lightning holds a special place for me). Both were unfairly overshadowed by the Mustang. My "dream hangar" also includes a FW-190 and the F7F.
I once saw a picture of a dirt field filled with P-38s, gear up, stacked 3 high for as far as the eye could see. There were hundreds of them, available for $1400 each. I'd love to see that picture again, yet not really...
