Thanks Ian....some great stuff came out of Lockheed, but the P-38 has to be the best looking.

Awesome shots I always have liked the look of the 38.

Off all things , the 38 ... maybe have been two off them together during WWII , Richard Bong .. the US top scoring fighter pilot scored his kills in the 38 and 40s getting 40 kills

This plane first flew in 1939, a year after I was born, so it was more than ready when the war started. Tommy McGuire was a close second to Dick Bong with 38 kills. He let Charles Lindbergh fly combat with his squadron and I read he got a few.
