Illustrated colour reference guide to classic fighter aircraft, the P-38 Lightning, with 36 colour profiles, camouflage, markings, and plan views of aircraft that saw service.
An American model, the P-38 Lightning was a fighter aircraft deployed in WWII, most successfully for the so-called`Pacific Theater of Operations’ and the `China-Burma-India Theater of Operations’. Its distinctive design involved twin booms but only one central nacelle which earned it the nicknames “fork-tailed devil” and “two planes, one pilot” by its enemies.
The versatility of the P-38 Lightning allowed it to perform several functions, such as level bombing, dive bombing and photo reconnaissance missions as well as its tradition role as a long range fighter.
