*****************************************************
One of the most
famous P-38 photos ever taken and still in publication today.
Flight Leader , 2nd Lt. Bob Kirtley, 95th FS leads
95th FS Staff Sgt. Pilots: Ralph Embrey #2, Verne Yahne #3, and
Graham Jones #4.
Bob Kirtley
was one of the six 'original' pilots selected, to fly the first
'three' hand made P-38s. Bob also recorded the first 'score' for
the 82nd Fighter Group when enroute to North Africa on December
23, 1942 over the Bay of Biscay (Bob Kirtley collection).
This official
Lockheed P-38 photo has been reprinted in countless publications
through the years. The photo first appeared on the front cover
of the July 12, 1943 issue of NEWSWEEK magazine (Bob
Kirtley collection).
