P-38 Lightning from Air Force Link Top Stories
On April 27, 1939, the U.S. Army Air Corps orders the P-38 Lightning. The Lockheed P-38 was designed in 1937 as a high-altitude interceptor. Because of its unorthodox design, the aircraft evolved for several years before becoming the fighter destined to see combat in all theaters of World War II.
