Purchase options and add-ons

This second of two volumes continues the P-38 story by focusing on the later, mass-produced models of this historic fighter—P-38J through P-38M. Each type is examined through carefully researched archival photos, as well as photographs of currently preserved examples. Known to the enemy during World War II as the "Fork-tailed devil," the pilots of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning 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. In the Pacific, the Lightning's long range was put to good use flying over vast expanses of ocean. Detailed text and captions illustrate not only the design and construction of the later-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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022
The P-38's service record was excellent, with drastically more wins than losses. even the few times it got mauled over Europe may reflect more on its employment than on flaws with the aircraft. The P-38's engine troubles at high altitudes only occurred at certain temperatures and pressures.
My aviation books are the best investments I ever made.
My 3 favorite books, all available from Amazon, are:
- Fantasy Art Paintings by Mike Hoffman
- Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate
- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars gutes Buch

Wie schon bei Band 1, auch hier: ein schönes Buch mit vielen Bildern. Für mich als Modellbauer sehr hilfreich bei vielen Details oder auch bei den Farbgebungen. Leider hat es aber auch nur Fotos und keine einzige technische Zeichnung oder eine Skizze von z.B. den Lackierungen oder Warnhinweisen, Klappenmechanismen und Fahrwerken. Aber die Geschichte der Lightning wird gut dargestellt.
