HISTORY OF THE P-38 LIGHTNING
- The P-38 was a heavy fighter aircraft with a twin-engine configuration, twin-boom fuselage and a forward-mounted central cockpit.

- Its range made it especially useful in the Pacific theatre and on long-range bomber escort missions over Europe.
- Enemy pilots nicknamed it “the devil with two tails”.
