The P-38 National Association was formed by a group of men and women who desired to perpetuate the memory of the P-38 Lockheed "Lightning" fighter aircraft and the people who designed, built, and maintained it, and the heroes who flew it to victory in the critical years of WW II. The P-38 "lightning" was the deadliest and most powerful fighter in our air-arsenal. It was the only fighter that was used in all seven theaters of WW II. It also performed service as a photo reconnaissance, skip and dive bomber, and ground support aircraft. Its two engines provided the ability to bring our pilots back safely, even though one of the engines might have been lost in combat. The P-38 "Lightning" had the long range that was needed to attack our enemies in the dangerous skies over Europe, Africa, the Far East, and the North and South Pacific Oceans.
May the Contribution of P-38 "Lightning" and the people who Used it in our Victory during WW II never be forgotten by the freedom and peace loving future generations of the American people.
