Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Originally designed as a high-altitude interceptor, the P-38 was the first U.S. fighter of WWII to compare favorably with the Spitfire and Me-109. The twin-tailed, single seat "Fork Tailed Devil" carried four .50-caliber machine guns and a 20mm cannon, and could fly at speeds above 400 mph. An extremely successful design, over 9500 Lightnings were built by V-J Day in 1945. Originally classified "Restricted", this manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. It shows you everything you ever wanted to know about how the P-38 Lightning flew and fought! This affordable facsimile has been reformatted, and color images appear as black and white. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

From the Publisher
This is one in a series of historic flight manuals and military documents republished by Periscopefilm.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Actual WWII era flight training manual for the P-38 -- how cool!, July 1, 2006
By FullFathomFive (Kings Harbor, Georgia) - See all my reviews
It's one thing to read books about the P-38 Lightning, and to built model kits. It's another thing to have this training manual, which tells you all about how to fly this plane. What's surprising is that it's not a bunch of technical gobbledy-gook, but a pretty entertaining read filled with photos and diagrams, and even cartoons, that tell you how to fly this amazing warbird. I showed this to some friends at an airshow and they all wanted to steal it from me! So I guess that's as good a compliment as any. I highly recommend this and the other Flight Manuals in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, January 19, 2009
By D. Perez (S.M., Ca. USA) - See all my reviews
Nice book for anyone interested in what a flight manual looked like from back in the day (from a historical stand-point...) Reasonable price too.

2.0 out of 5 stars SO-SO, September 30, 2008
This book is a reproduction of a manual with new cover art work. The quality of the copying could have been better. Some photos are less than ideal and overall, just not very crisp.
