LOCKHEED P-38 LIGHTNING
The P-38 filled many roles – fighter, bomber, photo/reconnaissance, pathfinder and night fighter. Because of this versatility, it became the only U.S. fighter to remain in production – and in combat – throughout the war. The Lockheed P-38 “Lightning” first saw combat on Aug 4 1942, when P-38s based in the Aleutian Islands downed two Japanese flying boats. The Aircraft exhibited in the EAA AirVenture Museum bears the victory flags and squadron markings of Richard Bong’s P-38, “Marge”, as it appeared in March 1944.
