The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was certainly one of the foremost aircraft
of WW2 in terms of aerodynamic structure and design. It was a
revolutionary heavy fighter with a twin-boom fuselage where the two
engines were installed. The pilot was accommodated in a leading-edge
cockpit at the centre of the aircraft. The P-38 could reach a top speed
of over 660 km/h thanks to its two 12 cylinders liquid cooled V-1710
Allison engines, each capable of 1,425hp. It was armed with four
Browning 12.7 mm machine guns and one Hispano M2 cannon which ensured
highly effective firepower. The P38 was not particularly manoeuvrable
compared to other single-engine fighters of the period, but it was very
robust and stable. Its huge versatility made it a key aircraft both on
operations in the Pacific theatre and on escort missions for long-range
bombers over Europe. The P-38 with its characteristic shape and its
‘fear effect’ was nicknamed ‘the fork-tailed devil’ by enemy pilots.
