P-38, and this art is from the 4th of his 5 P-38s. The yellow kill tally box did

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. the "Jack" nose art of Squadron Commander and former POW Maj. Carl Jackson USAAF 20th Fighter Group. |

I have something to say about the instructors who trained our fighter pilots
that fought the Japanese at Ie Shima and Okinawa in WW2. I was stationed aboard
a supply ship that was anchored close enough that we could see the island of
IeShima. We were at our battle stations constantly because we were being
attacked by the Japanese suicide planes. I witnessed the pilots of the P-47s the
P-51s-and later the P-38s as they returned from protecting our bombers during
missions to Japan. When a pilot was credited with a Zek kill he was allowed to
put his fighter plane through aerobatics before landing and it appeared there
must have been competition among these pilots. I say that because it would be
impossible for me to describe to you how great these young pilots were doing
their thing above the Island of Ie Shima and Okinawa and they seemed to want to
out do each other. I often wondered how their fighter held together. They had
to be well trained to down the Japanese Zeros and also to get that kind of
performance out of their fighter planes. They put on a great exhibition and we
always enjoyed watching them. I know they were a credit to their country and
also their instructors. Well trained pilots had a greater chance of staying
alive. A WW2 Veteran Bob Shackles rivershack@jshack.com |
