A propaganda film from the US AAF about the aerial war over western Europe. Plenty of combat footage, both air to air and ground strafing. Interestingly, mix some captured german footage of alarmstart and bomber a attacks. Some of the combat footage are pretty close strikes...

With the distinct possibility of Tamiya releasing a 1/48 P-38J in 1/48, I have been going over some markings I would like to do for the aircraft. The one that comes to mind is the P-38's flown by Robin Olds. However, I have come across some contradictory information, particularly in regards to...

I'm looking for schematics/pin-outs/diagrams for the P-38 fuel gauges (DJ-12's) if anyone can help. Would love to have the sending units (transmitters) schematics as well. If anyone can help I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.....

The daily work of keeping airplanes in the air by taking apart war weary ones and warehousing the ones that could be needed later on. Not often one comes across such a large number of pictures all taken at Panagarh wich depicts the scale of this operation very nicely. Note the P-61 Black Widow...

During World War II, the Lockheed developed a long-range version of its famous fighter P-38 Lightning, however, due to technical problems the project was canceled. The link below provides a collection of interesting photos of the plane and a question: If the plane had entered service, have...

I share with you some rare pictures (in color and w/b) of fighters Lockheed P-38 Lightnings captured and with German and Italian markings during World War II. Does anyone know how many were captured and how they came to Europe once they have been used in the Pacific? To view the photos visit the...

I recently read Classic Wings where one person says that they know of a couple of P-40s, a P-38, Seafire and Corsair aswell as a B24 being broken up in PNG in the last couple of years. I know of a number of wrecks I'd personally love to recover if I had the funds but I know its impossible of...

OK, you've heard of the P-38 Lightning, but have you ever heard of the Thunder? Never made it into squadron service, though ...

Hello I am new to this forum and was wondering if this may have been part of a P-38J?

In order not to clog up the current RAF bombing thread, I'd reckon it is better to discuss the merits and shortcomings of big US fighters in a separate thread. The P-38 was drop-tank ready before the 1st production F4U made 1st flight - Feb. vs. June 1942. That, and numbers available means...

Hi everyone, I have attempted to put together a quick reference sheet for the P-38 in hopes that it will give everyone a better understanding of which model to use when comparing aircraft. And, of course, I have a limited library and knowledge of Lockheed's fighter. I am asking for everyone's...

Hello, I'm currently searching for a propeller for my Father for his 50th birthday present. I found one I think he'll like, but I'm having trouble identifying it. The seller believes it is a P-38 prop blade, which is what I am hoping for (his favorite warbird). If it is not from a P-38 I believe...
