Book Reviews of Lockheed P-38 Lightning Pilot's Flight Manual
Book Review: Actual WWII era flight training manual for the P-38 -- how cool!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's one thing to read books about the P-38 Lightning, and to built model kits. It's another thing to have this training manual, which tells you all about how to fly this plane. What's surprising is that it's not a bunch of technical gobbledy-gook, but a pretty entertaining read filled with photos and diagrams, and even cartoons, that tell you how to fly this amazing warbird. I showed this to some friends at an airshow and they all wanted to steal it from me! So I guess that's as good a compliment as any. I highly recommend this and the other Flight Manuals in the series.
Summary of Lockheed P-38 Lightning Pilot's Flight Manual
Originally designed as a high-altitude interceptor, the P-38 was the first U.S. fighter of WWII to compare favorably with the Spitfire and Me-109. The twin-tailed, single seat "Fork Tailed Devil" carried four .50-caliber machine guns and a 20mm cannon, and could fly at speeds above 400 mph. An extremely successful design, over 9500 Lightnings were built by V-J Day in 1945. Originally classified "Restricted", this manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been reformatted, and color images appear as black and white. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.Aviation Books
