The
Lightning
designed by Lockheed engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson and his team of
designers, represented one of the most radical departures from tradition
in American fighter development. The
Lightning
was a complete break-away from conventional airframe design, power, and at
long last, armament. Not only did it have twice the power and almost twice
the size of its predecessors, but with no less than four .50 cal. machine
guns plus a 20 mm cannon, the
P-38
had enough firepower to sink a ship--and sometimes did. Concentrated in
the central fuselage pod, the guns fired parallel which eliminated a need
for a propeller synchronizer. 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. Reserve your VQ P-38 Lightning ARF today so not to miss the opportunity to own and fly an American legend! |
