Lockheed's first military aircraft to go into production - the 'fork-tailed devil', twin engined Lightning - was also one of the most famous and effective American fighters of World War Two. Between 1940 and 1945, over 10,000 powerful and versatile P-38 Lightnings were built. This book documents the history of the J to L variants of the plane, from 1943 to 1944 - the most effective and widely used of the entire Lightning family. This was the aircraft that author and aviation legend Antoine de St Exupery was flying when he disappeared. Rarely documented aspect of World War Two aviation history. Superb colour illustrations of camouflage and markings, walk-around colour photographs and rare b+w archive photographs. Essential reading for aviation enthusiasts & scale aero-modellers.

The aircraft were colorful and their crew were often courageous - but virtually unknown beyond the South American continent. Throughout the first 70 years of practical flight in Latin America, obscure designs carried the colors and markings of many nationalities, and in this book many photograhs of such aircraft are seen for the first time. Following more than 15 years of research, the author traces the use of aircraft in Latin America from the frail Wright Model Bs through the ensuing border skirmishes, revolutions and full-scale warfare to the final aerial engagements between piston-engined fighters. The so-called 'Leticia Incident', the 'Revolt of the Lieutenants' and the 'Soccer War' are all described here. The aircraft enthusiast will discover an astonishing range of aircraft depicted in photographs and information including the Argentine North American SNJs and Gloster Meteors, Bolivian Curtiss Hwk IIs, Curtiss-Wright 14R Ospreys, Brazilian Waco CTOs, Chilean Curtiss Falcons, Colombian Bellancea 77-140s, Costa Rican North American F-51 D Mustangs, Cuban Vought Corsairs and exile force Douglas B-26s, Dominican Republic deHavilland Vampires, Guatemala Republic F-47N Thunderbolts, Honduras Stinson Model 'O' Seniors, from the Mexican Martin 'Sonora' to the Vought V-99M Corsair, Nicaragua Douglas C-47s, Paraguayan Fiat C.R.20s and POtez 25A-2s, Peruvian Douglas O-38Ps, Uruguayian Waco JHDs and the Venezuelan North American F-86F and deHavilland Venom. This study can be regarded as the most comprehensive reference book for years to come and will be informative and fascinating reading for all aviation enthusiasts.
