COBI LOCKHEED P-38H LIGHTNING 530 KL. 545 PCS HC WWII 5726The Lockheed P 38 LIGHTNING was a fast and heavily armed American long range fighter aircraft of the Second World War. This unusual twin engine aircraft had a nacelle with a pilot's cabin placed between two fuselages. The so called "flying frame" provided very good performance, which translated into a long production period (which lasted from 1941 to 1945) and a huge number of victories by American pilots. The plane was decommissioned only in 1965.
