The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was an American fighter and fighter-bomber airplane manufactured by Lockheed Martin.

Summary

One of the greatest fighters of World War II, the legacy of the P-38 is unmatched. At the time of it's introduction in 1940, the P-38 was capable of climbing 3,300 fpm and could attain a top speed that was 100 mph faster than any other fighter in the world. A range of 1,150 miles, a payload capacity nearing the B-17, a potent mix of four .50 calibre machine guns and a 20-mm cannon combined to deliver a versatile and legendary aircraft.

A total of more than 10,000 P-38's (including 18 distinct models) were manufactured during the war, flying more than 130,000 missions in theaters around the world. P-38 pilots shot down more than Japanese aircraft than any other fighter and, in a reconnaissance role, obtained 90 percent of the aerial film captured over Europe.

As a testament to the effectiveness of the P-38 Lightning, as well as it's fearsome might in skilled hands, the two highest scoring aces in American history, Maj. Richard I. Bong and Maj. Thomas B. McGuire Jr, both flew the P-38 in the Pacific Theater of Operations. Each man received the Medal of Honor in recognition of his courage and accomplishments.
