Thank you for this video! My father was a P-38 pilot who flew forty missions out of Foggia, Italy in WWII. He carried a photo of his plane in his wallet to his dying day. He was, and still is, my hero.

AWESOME video & music !!
The P-38 was the USAAF workhorse during WWII. AA, AG and escort duty. IMO the best all around/multi-role fighter of the war; hands down. I don't understand why the "Late Coming" P-51 & P-47 overshadow it

Hell, where was I in the 40's? Give any 18 y.o. kid fresh out of highschool two 454 engines and two 50cals. What comes next is purely natural... LOL! God Bless America!

I loved the p38 lighning and i wished that the air force would not have scraped all those planes in the south pacific and insted they could have sold them.

@hutigg The P-38 was a ground-breaking aircraft, technologically. had the capability to far out-range the P-47, which was a gas-guzzler and also, the P-51, as it's load carrying capacity far exceeded either of them , or indeed any single engined fighter. It could also easily out-climb and, with zero torque, turn inside both; especially after being fitted with hydraulic aileron boost in the J-25 & L versions.
Awesome! What soundtrack is this music from?
