Great Planes Vol. 10:
P-38 Lightning - VHS Video
"Interceptor," a new name for a fighter
of high speed, capable of climbing to altitude in
the shortest time. From this description, the XP-38
was constructed. See the taxi test and the first flight
of XP-38 Model 22, the piggyback for instructor pilot
and many of the different versions of the P-38. Serving
in many theaters of the war, the Lightning was proving
itself in many different roles - escort, photo reconnaissance
and ground attack. Meet the aces who flew the Lightning
and ride along with them, viewing dramatic footage
from plane-mounted cameras filming low-level missions.
The Lightning was the primary fighter of both the
Mediterranean and the Pacific, and shot down more
Japanese aircraft than any other plane. Includes outstanding
color footage of different paint schemes. Color and
B&W, approx. 60 minutes. |

one of the P-38s from under 250 feet of ice - and
her restoration and flight as Glacier Girl. 100 minutes. |
