We'd like to thank the following folks for their help in building this
website.  Without them, it wouldn't exist.  They are listed in no
particular order, just as I thought of them.

If I've forgotten anyone, I apologize!  Let me know so I can add your name.

ACES
All the information provided in this section of the site has been provided and verified by John Stanaway, long-time P‑38 Association member, and author of the many books on vintage aircraft, many of which can be found on the John Stanaway page of this site.

GRAPHICS
Thanks to Thomas Guettler of P‑38 Online (no longer has website) for giving us permission to reprint some of his graphics on our site.  Thanks to Lee Northrop for providing the extraordinary classic photos of the P‑38, a real piece of history!  Thanks to each of the Board members who sent in their wartime photos for inclusion on the "About Us" page of the site.

WASPs section of our site.

Thanks to "Lightning Strikes" Editor, Steve Blake, for his ongoing contributions of material for this site.  Individual thanks are given to Members and website contributors on the pages for which they've donated content.

WEBSITE

ED BAQUET
(1922-2007)


Thanks most of all to my Dad, Ed Baquet, for helping to bring this site into existence.  It was a great idea and has proven to be a very successful venture.  None of it would have happened without his perseverance.

Thanks also to all those people who have contributed to the financial support of this website.  You can find their names on the Donations page!   
 

ABOUT KELLY


Kelly Kalcheim
Director of
Internet Ops

 

To clear up some of the questions I get asked...

  • I was named after Kelly AFB in San Antonio, not Kelly Johnson (designer of the P‑38)

  • My last name is pronounced "Cal-shime" 

  • I was an entertainment industry executive for a good deal of my adult life, most recently with MGM studios

  • I taught myself HTML and web design...which I'm improving day by day as we go along.

I'm tickled pink that you are all enjoying the site so much, and thanks for all or your positive feedback!

As our parents, grandparents and friends who were "hands on" with the P-38 Lightning are continuing to leave us, keeping this website available as a tribute to them is vital. This aircraft was an important part of their lives and their history, and to carry on this legacy, we need funding. We are not affiliated with the USAF or Lockheed and our entire operation is supported entirely by people like you.

What would you pay for a good aviation DVD or book? If you enjoy this website, please consider a financial contribution of the same amount to help defray our increasing costs and ensure that this part of aviation history continues to be available to people all over the world.

We have just added a page to thank our website's financial contributors. No donation is too small, after all $1 from a million visitors will keep us going a very long time! 

It's easy to help...just click on the "Donate" button below.
