In 1937, the P-38 Lightning was designed as a high-altitude interceptor. The P-38 evolved for several years before entering combat service with all theaters of World War II. In 1942, P-38s participated in operations during the North African campaign. The P-38 was used extensively as a long- range escort fighter. The P-38 was also used for dive bombing, level bombing, ground strafing and photo reconnaissance missions. The P- 38 underwent many modifications. In 1945, by the end of P-38 production, there had been 9,923 P- 38s built. The P-38 was redesignated the F-38, and was deemed surplus in 1949. Currently, there are only 27 P-38s which still exist.

The P-38 has taken on several different roles including level bombing, dive bombing, photo reconnaissance, ground strafing and long-range escort fighting. Its most extensive and successful missions were in the Pacific Theater of Operations and the China-Burma- India Theater of Operations, where it was flown by the American pilots with the highest number of aerial victories to date. In the former, the P- 38 was credited with destroying more Japanese aircraft than any other USAAF fighter. The design achieved maximum performance by pairing the best available engine on one air frame. It was the most recognizable fighter of the era, and was in continuous production throughout the War.
