Where were you on D-Day 6 June 1944? John Taylor was flying his P-38 Lightning over the beaches of Normandy, HOW COOL IS THAT!
Earlier in 2009 Flightline Fabrications interviewed retired USAAF P-38 Lightning Pilot John Taylor. Mr. Taylor and his daughter were generous enough to sit down for our Living History Project™ and tell us about his life as a P-38 Lightning Pilot during WWII, Flying with the 8th Air Force in Europe and his flight status on one of the most important days of WWII, 6 June 1944 D-Day! Taylor flew 63 missions in the P-38 Lightningand the P-51 Mustang with the 364th Fighter Group.
Fuel Levels – Check! Flaps – Check! Wag your rudder and get ready to take off, John’s stories flying the P-38 Lightning will take your breath away! Oh Yeah… you better have your GLOVES at the ready for this one….!
