This photograph shows a Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter parked on a forward airstrip, with a second Lightning flying overhead, in a scene consistent with Allied air operations in the Burma theater during World War II. The P-38's distinctive twin-boom design and twin Allison engines made it a versatile fighter-bomber used extensively by US Army Air Forces units, including those supporting the demanding China-Burma-India campaign against Japanese forces.
