Lockheed P-38 Lightning Model Airplane World War 2 Fighter Aircraft, Military 1/48 Scale Diecast Aircraft Models for Display or Play.

Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft diecast models.  These 1/48 Scale diecast models show the P38 Lightning World War 2 Fighter Aircraft in it's finest detail.  Not only are these diecast aircraft fun to look at and play with, they are historical markers showing the history of the P-38 Lightning and the history of the P-38's Squadrons, Pilots, Crews, Missions, and Markings.  Keeping this historical information in our eyes keeps the history of our soldiers in our minds.  Why did these famous pilots fight for our nation and what liberties did they give to all or our citizens, liberties that we enjoy today.  The Soldiers of World War 2 and all subsequent wars and even in peace time, give us our right to speak our mind about our government without reprisal of criminal actions.  This is why this is a government of the people, for the people and by the people.  We owe all Veterans a huge word of gratitude every day for all that they have done for every one of us.

The P-38 Lightning was built by Lockheed during WW2.  The P38 Lightning is 37' 10" long and has a wingspan of 52' 0".  The P-38 Lightning used two Allison V-1710-27/29 engines each having 1150 hp giving the airplane 2300 hp total.  The max speed of the P38 is 395 mph. 
There are many versions of this plane, these specs cover only one version.

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.

                      I am looking for information on any article that you may know about, related to the
                      P38 Lightning used for Photo Recon. in Europe?

                      My home town is Redstone, Montana and during WWII  we had a pilot from
                      there that flew the P38 Lightning on these missions.  An article was written
                      by a major publication ( Life, Look ?? ) on this pilot, a Major George Owens.

                      I was only 7 or 8 years old at the time, but I remember a day in school when
                      this pilot was ferrying a P38 Lightning across country and he buzzed Redstone
                      and our schoolhouse.

                      My older brother reminded me of this happening and wanted to know if I could
                      get a copy of this article somehow?

                      Your website came up on my first search effort so I want to see if you could
                      direct me as to where to look?

                      Thank you in advance for your help in this area and for the information I have
                      already found related to the fabulous P38 Lightning aircraft.
