Lockheed P-38 Lightning

This Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft was found downed in Wales. It is thought to have laid to rest here in 1942. Designed by legendary Lockheed engineer Clarence “Kelly” Johnson—who was also the genius behind the SR-71 Blackbird—the Lockheed P-38 Lightning’s distinctive design and stellar performance gained it an almost legendary status to those who flew it and were supported by it. Despite its appearance, the P-38 was a single-seater fighter capable of truly impressive performance.
