What happens when the most mocked fighter plane in the sky suddenly becomes the deadliest hunter over Europe?
In this video, we explore the incredible transformation of the P-38J Lightning from a laughingstock to the Luftwaffe's worst nightmare. Through firsthand accounts of American pilots who flew these twin-boomed fighters, discover how the "fork-tailed devil" earned its fearsome reputation with its devastating triangle of death - four .50 caliber machine guns and a 20mm cannon concentrated in the nose. Learn how German pilots who once toyed with early P-38 models learned to fear the J variant's revolutionary capabilities, from its differential thrust maneuvers to its ability to fight on one engine, and hear the harrowing stories of aerial combat at 25,000 feet where survival meant mastering this remarkable machine.
