The innovative P-38 was produced in response to the need for a long range and high altitude fighter to escort the B-17 bomber fleet. A history of the plane from design to frontline use, this book includes archival photographs and production notes.
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.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Production line to front line 3. The Lightning was a highly innovative design produced by Lockheed of Burbank California, in response to a challenging requirement for a long range, high speed and high altitude fighter to escort the AAF's rapidly expanding B-17 and B-24 heavy bomber fleets. To meet the Criterion laid down in the requirement, the company adopted a revolutionary twin boom layout and supercharged Allison Engines. The latter initially proved troublesome, but the gremlins were eventually sorted out and the type went on to see much action in Europe, North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Pacific and the CBI. Using the best Lockheed official and private archival black and white photographs available, combined with period color advertisements, a double page cutaway drawing and scale plans, this volume reveals all facets of the Lightning's construction and front line use.
