A Time In History
The Lightning tricycle landing gear and twin-boom configuration completed the list of major deviations from what might he considered conventional Army fighters. In this respect, it was very unusual that the Lightning design progressed beyond the testing stage; such radical concepts seldom achieved production status. But the simple fact was that the P-38 design worked and the Army seemed to have found its dream plane in this 400 mph fighter.

I’ve always wanted to photograph a P-38. I recently got some great shots of an airborne Spitfire, as well as a Curtiss Kittyhawk. They’re posted on my blog ….

Thanks David, although I have never been in an airplane and have never flew in one, I love them for their beauty and design.
