4.0 out of 5 stars A good history book of the P-38, January 4, 2000
This review is from: Lockheed P-38 Lightning (Motorbooks International Warbird History) (Paperback)
First of all, please consider that this review is from a scale modeller's point of view.

* What I liked from the book: Good presentation. Complete detail of the evolution of the plane, including variants and sub-variants. Lots of photos, including many rare variants. Good explanation of the engine and turbocharger. Some tales from the field. List of squadrons equipped with the a/c.

* What could be improved: Interior photos (there isn't even a single cockpit photo). More colour pictures. Colour profiles (the book does not include any). More technical explanation about the plane (it apparently has many kinds of flaps but they are mentioned cassually with no further explanation). More close-ups.
