Lockheed P-38 Lightning Fighter on Airfield, China-Burma-India Theater, WWII

A Lockheed P-38 Lightning sits on a forward airfield somewhere in the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. Prized for its long range, twin-engine reliability, and heavy firepower, the P-38 served CBI squadrons in fighter escort, ground attack, and photo-reconnaissance roles across some of the war's most demanding flying conditions.
