Historical and Technical Information

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a legendary American twin-engine fighter designed and produced in the USA during World War II. It was used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) from 1941 until the end of the war in 1945. The plane gained particular fame in the Pacific, where, piloted by Richard Bong and Thomas McGuire, it contributed to the Allies’ air superiority.
