From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was one of the most important American fighters of the Second World War. Although its operational record was somewhat mixed, in general, the P-38 was a fast, powerful and capable twin boom aircraft that performed well in a wide range of roles.

The aircraft had twin booms with the engines mounted forward and a single, central nacelle containing the pilot and armament. The engine sounds were a unique, rather quiet "whuffle," because the exhausts were muffled by the turbochargers of the twin Allison V12s. The canopy could not be opened without severe buffeting, so pilots were often too hot in the tropics. In northern Europe, the distance of the engines from the cockpit prevented effective heating of the cockpit, thus it was always either too hot or too cold. However, late variants of the P-38 received modifications that solved this problem.
