Photographed from above by a companion aircraft, this Lockheed P-38 Lightning of the U.S. Army Air Forces cruises over the terraced farmland of the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. The P-38's unmistakable twin-boom silhouette made it one of the most recognizable Allied fighters of the war, valued in the CBI theater for its long range, heavy armament, and twin-engine reliability over remote and mountainous terrain.
