Tony Weddel. The Rufe was born out of the Japanese
Navy's need for a single-seat fighter that could be used primarily from
military installations on small Pacific Islands, where it was impossible to
build landing fields. Except for the addition of floats and some minor

performance. Here, Rufes defend Japanese shipping from American B-25s and
P-38s during the Aleutian campaign. 23"x 19" print.

| Research Notes: The twin-engine P-38 Lightning, a radical design conceived by Lockheed design genius Clarence "Kelly" Johnson in the late 1930s, became one of the war's most successful fighter planes, serving in Europe and the Pacific. About 10,000 of the planes were built, and about 32 complete or partial airframes are believed to still exist, perhaps 10 in operational condition. |
