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).
