  • The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a World War II American fighter aircraft. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Named "fork-tailed devil" (der Gabelschwanz-Teufel) by the Luftwaffe and by the Japanese, the P-38 was used in a number of roles, including dive bombing, level bombing, ground-attack, night fighting, photo reconnaissance missions, and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings.
  • The P-38D Lightning, the first production model had the standard twin Allison V-1710-27 Engines mounted with a rear tail boom type arrangement. However, the main distinction this model had over earlier prototype examples was its added armor protection to the cockpit, self-sealing fuel tanks, and a redesigned rear section for greater stability. Its empty weight was around 5,343 kilograms with a total length of eleven meters and wingspan of fifteen meters.
