P-38 Lightning Vol. 1: Lockheed’s XP-38 to P-38H in World War II (Legends of Warfare: Aviation)

This first of two volumes presents the P-38 story by focusing on the early models of this historic fighterâ€”XP-38 through P-38H. Each type is examined through carefully researched archival photos, as well as photographs of currently preserved examples.Â Known to the enemy during World War IIÂ as the "Fork-tailed devil," the Lockheed P-38 Lightning was piloted by those who were charged with the responsibility of escorting American bombers deep over heavily defended Europe during the early years of the air campaign against Nazi Germany. Detailed text and captions illustrate not only the design and constructionÂ of the early-war Lightnings, but also their combat use in WWII. Large, clear photos, coupled with descriptive and informative captions, put the reader on the airfield and in the sky with this historic aircraft.Â Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
