In those days, teenagers would have scavenged, hanged out with friends, role played or joined the army to past the time, though very few considered the last option in the 40's. If they were rich, they could go to private cinemas, though the industry there was pretty dry. Even after WW2, rationing still happened and the Thames froze over too, since it was so cold during one winter. However, many services such as T.V. and Cinema became opened. Towards the end of the 40's, more things such as board games started coming out.

I do believe the modes of transportation in the 1940's were automobiles, buses, trolley cars and trains.

The P-38 Lightning was a twin-engined, twin-boomed monplane. It was designed in the late '30's by Kelly Turner and the Lockheed corporation for the U.S.'s WWII effort. It was fast, and had good performance at altitude, but it was often out-manuevered by lighter single engine fighters. Hope this helps.
