The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a legendary American WWII fighter that entered service in 1941 and was used by the United States Army Air Forces until the end of the war in 1945. It was distinguished by its characteristic twin-boom fuselage design and central nacelle for the pilot. The P-38 took part in numerous operations on all fronts – it was especially effective in the Pacific theater, where, among others, it shot down Admiral Yamamoto during a famous raid.
