The P-38 was the only American fighter aircraft in production throughout American involvement in the war, from Pearl Harbor to VJ Day. With its unusual twin-boom design, this was one of the most distinctive fighters of WW2, and saw action in all theaters of the war, being especially effective in the Pacific area. This book describes the development of the later versions of this iconic warplane, with full technical details and many detail photos. Profusely illustrated with photos, including a comprehensive walk-around section showing all aspects of the airframe, and diagrams from official manuals. Includes 1/72nd and 1/48th scale plans, and color profiles showing many of the colorful schemes applied to the P-38 by its users. Review From Internetmodeler By Chris Banyai-Riepl [...] The book covers each variant in detail, both in the written text and in scale drawings. [...]. Complementing the text and scale drawings is the imagery, of which there is plenty. There are period photos as well as detail photos of museum and flying warbirds. The color profile illustrations highlight the varied color schemes and creative nose art often worn by P-38s. While there have been many books written on the P-38, there is always room for more and this book provides a great single-point reference for late-mark P-38s. From IPMSUSA.org[...] To add icing to the cake, MMPBooks includes a fantastic folded poster, illustrated by Dariusz Karnas. Karnas created a six-view illustration of a P-38L-5 in 1/48th scale. On the reverse side of the poster, also in 1/48th scale, Karnas presents a five-view illustration of a P-38M. This publication is highly recommended for it excellent content, use as a research tool, use as a modeling guide, and coverage of a very unique aircraft.
