Which WIF (all options included) aircraft am I?

Aircraft 1:

Clue 1 - I do have a World In Flames Counter and I fought with the Allies
Clue 2 - I was an unsuccessful design (although did have one moment of fame) and another aircraft developed from my original design proved even more disappointing.

Aircraft 2:

Clue 1 - I do have a World In Flames Counter and I too fought with the Allies
Clue 2 - I entered service in the second half of the war and saw action in both the Pacific and Europe.

P-38 Lightning.

More good guesses, but still no cigar.....I won't say which ones, but a couple of guesses (one for each aircraft) have been on the right track.

...is the right answer SirWhiskers [:)]. Froonp's P-38 was getting close.

.....is also the correct answer SirWhiskers [:)]

A squadron of Skuas sunk the light cruiser Konigsberg off Norway in April 1940. (Incidentally, the Skua was the first Fleet Air Arm aircraft to knock down a German plane in WWII). The aircraft developed from her design was the Blackburn Roc....
