*****************************************************
One of the most
famous P-38 photos ever taken and still in publication today.
Flight Leader Bob Kirtley leads Ralph Embrey, Verne
Yahne, and Graham Jones. 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).
The 'office '
of a P-38 pilot (Bob Kirtley collection) .
Thanks to Steve
Blake, 'ADORIMINI ', for all his contributions and assistance.
Thanks

Thanks to Tony
Wood for the use of the Luftwaffe Claims List at his website.
