P38 Lightning: Volume 2: Legends of Warfare hardcover
P38 Lightning: Volume 2: Lockheed's P38J to P38M in world War II: Legends of Warfare hardcover
- Photographic history of the design, development, and combat use
of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning during WWII
- Ideal for military history enthusiasts who enjoy concise, affordable
warfare histories with rare archival photographs.
- Volume 2 examines the P-38J through the P-38M types
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.
