Description
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American fighter aircraft built by Lockheed. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Named "fork-tailed devil" by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese, this unique [5] aircraft was used in a number of different roles including dive bombing, level bombing, ground strafing, photo reconnaissance missions,[6] and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings.
