"P-38 Lightning over the Pacific"
By Larry Grossman - RetroVisions

The Lockheed P-38 is perhaps the most recognizable plane of WWII. With its distinctive twin-boom design and dual turbochargers it performed well in all theaters of the war. It is seen here in it's natural aluminum finish. Although most German fighter planes outflew it, the Germans nicknamed it the "Fork-tailed devil". It is also credited with shooting down General Yamamoto in a well timed ambush that was a major blow to the Japanese . -- L.G.
