Lockheed P-38 Lightning Fighter on Unpaved Airstrip, Pacific Theater, WWII
A Lockheed P-38 Lightning sits on a coral-surfaced airstrip in the Pacific Theater, likely at Ie Shima, home to the 345th Bombardment Group during the final months of World War II. The P-38's distinctive twin-boom design made it one of the most recognizable and versatile American fighters of the war, serving in escort, reconnaissance, and ground-attack roles. Project: 218235
