engineers led by Clarence Johnson and Hal Hibbard, the P-38 was the only American fighter what was continually
produced from before Pearl Harbor in 1941 to after the Japanese surrender in 1945. Over 9,900 P-38s were built,.
3,810 of which were the superior P-38L variant.
Revered by its foes as the "fork tailed devil", the P-38 excelled as a fighter, interceptor, reconnaissance platform,
long range escort, and as a ground attack aircraft. The P-38 Lightning was flown by the top four highest scoring
American Aces in World War II. The aircraft also famously shot down Admiral lsoroku Yamamoto's aircraft in
'Operation Vengeance' on April 18, 1943.
