LIGHTNING - THE LOCKHEED P-38

Lightning - The Lockheed P-38
$29.95

This documentary starts by telling the story of the capabilities and knowledge pilots need to know to fly a fighter plane that could rip apart anything on wings. Next you will see the actor William Holden as he flies a photo-reconnaissance version of the P-38, called the F-5 over Japanese held territory in the Pacific. He splashes a Zero for good measure and begins to feel like he really has earned his wings. Next watch as P-38 pilots plan a mission, making a long distance flight to shoot down the Japanese Admiral that masterminded the pearl Harbor attack.

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was the Commander in Chief combined Japanese Fleet and our intelligence got wind of the fact of where and when he would be flying to for a staff meeting. Great gun camera footage puts your finger on the trigger as concentrated fire power from cannons and 50 cal. machine guns blow the Admirals plane apart.
