Historical Background of the P-38 Lightning

The P-38 Lightning was a twin-engine American fighter widely used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in both the Pacific and European theaters during World War II. The F and G variants saw use from mid-1942 until the end of the war. The Lightning was renowned for its distinctive twin-boom tail, excellent high-altitude performance, and concentrated nose armament—the gun barrels improved by the Eduard set are a key part of this feature.
