P-38 Lightning Aces of the ETO/MTO Summary

P-38 Lightning Aces of the ETO/MTO by John Stanaway

Built by Lockheed to meet a USAAC requirement for a long-range, high-performance escort for the B-17 bomber, the P-38 Lightning made its combat debut in Europe in 1942. Its service in several combat theatres earned it the nickname der gabelschwanzer teufal, or the fork-tailed devil. Some 17 pilots scored seven or more kills in the P-38, with the top scorers, William J. Sloan and Michael Brezas, scoring 12 kills each. This volume presents archival photographs of Lightnings, scale drawings and interviews with several leading Lightning aces.
