The Lockheed P-38 Lightning introduced a new dimension to American fighters during WWII – a second engine. Designed by Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, an engineer at Lockheed, the P-38 Lightning represented one of the most radical departures from the traditional American Fighter ever seen during WWII.  With an unconventional airframe, design, power, and armament, the twin tailed fighter design simply worked.  Equipped with four .50 cal machine guns, plus a 20mm cannon, the P-38 Lightning had enough firepower to sink a ship… and some did!  The concentrated center nose mounted guns eliminated the need for propeller synchronization and was deadly when pointed in the direction of the enemy.

Flightline Fabrications recently interviewed three retired P-38 Lightning Pilots and all three were generous enough to sit down for our Living History Project and tell us about their combat stories and adventures during WWII. Over the next month Flightline Fabrications will publish each pilots story in 3 part segments, so strap on your parachute, and get ready to jump, because these P-38 Lightning Pilot stories are AWESOME! 

Col. Robert Mitchell served with the now famous 44th “Vampire” Fighter Squadron, 13th Air Force in the Solomons & Philippines during 1944-1945.  In air combat flying the P-38 Lightning, Col. Mitchell scored 1 victory and 1 probable victory.

William “Al” Bailey flew 60 photo recon missions in the P-38 Lightning with the 17th Photo Recon Squadron from Guadalcanal in 1943 and 52 missions with the 40th PRS in India during 1945.

John Taylor flew 63 missions in P-38 Lightning and P-51 Mustangs with the 364th Fighter Group of the 8th Air Force in England.  Those missions included 6 June 44, D-Day!

400 Miles per hour, four .50 cal machine guns, one 20mm cannon, and a young pilot… These P-38 Lightning stories are what you want to hear.

The 442nd famously rescued the “Lost Battalion” at Biffontaine. Pursuant to army tradition of never leaving soldiers behind, over a five-day period, from October 26 to October 30, 1944, the 442nd suffered the loss of nearly half of its roster—over 800 casualties, including 121 dead — while rescuing 211 members of the 36th Infantry Division’s 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry, which had been surrounded by German forces in the Vosges mountains since October 24.

Most Japanese Americans who fought in WWII were Nisei, second-generation Japanese Americans born in the U.S. Nevertheless, shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Japanese American men were categorized as 4C (enemy alien) and therefore non-draftable.

As a regimental combat team, the 442nd RCT was a self-sufficient fighting formation of three infantry battalions (originally 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions, 442d Infantry, and later the 100th Infantry Battalion in place of the 1st), the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion, the 232nd Engineering Company, an anti-tank company, cannon company, service company, medical detachment, headquarters companies, and the 206th Army Band.

Flightline Fabrications recently interviewed retired USAAF B-17 Bombardier Morris “Morrie” Yellen. Morrie was generous enough to sit down for our Living History Project™ and tell us about his life on a B-17 Flying Fortress as a 15th Air Force, 2nd Bomb Group, 20th Squadron Bombardier in Italy during WWII.

Morrie Flew 51 Missions, was escorted by the Tuskegee Airmen, had his entire squadron shot down by German Flak after his 2nd or 3rd mission, and that is just to start.

Morrie’s account of his WWII Service is truly a great story; you almost feel like you are there with him flying in a B-17 Flying Fortress over Germany. The photos you will see in this video were graciously provided by Morrie and taken during his WWII service.

“There has not been a day since I read his book that I don’t thank God for the life I live. As Alter and other Holocaust survivors share their experiences, they strengthen and warn us. I don’t think the citizens of Europe ever realized the Nazis were capable of such atrocities. It amazes me that a lunatic like Hitler was able to convince the educated men under him to annihilate millions of people.”

“For a man that lost 122 members of his family, Alter Weiner tells the story without rage or hatred – a lesson to us all.”

“I cannot even measure how privileged I feel to have had the chance to meet Alter Wiener, read his book “From a Name to A Number: A Holocaust Survivor’s Autobiography“, and learn of his story and life.  You can find a lot of history about WWII, you can read and research endlessly, but you cannot learn about what the holocaust was really like until you have heard it from Alter’s book and lectures.”

“Many things touch our lives, but Alter’s story is one that will touch your life forever; how he lived, how he lives, and how he will be remembered.”

“My life has been blessed with Alter’s book and story.  I promise you will not want to put it down, and that says a lot from a person who doesn’t really read books.  You will want to hear what Alter has to say!”
