Historical Information

The Lockheed P-38J Lightning was an American twin-engine fighter aircraft used during World War II. Its distinctive design, featuring twin vertical stabilizers and a wide fuselage, made it easily recognizable by both pilots and opponents. The P-38J was used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) on many fronts—from Europe to the Pacific, and North Africa. This aircraft became famous during, among others, Operation “Vengeance” – the mission to shoot down Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
