Reseña del editor

With its innovative twin-boom and supercharged engines, the P-38 Lightning was considered by many the Cadillac of World War II fighters. Rare archival material from Lockheed shows P-38 prototypes and frontline variants at the manufacturer's facilities in Burbank, California. An eight-page color section features unique period ads, wartime color photography not seen in print for more than 50 years, a double-page cutaway and examples of major variants. Detailed appendices identify production batches and delivery dates.
