P-38J-20-LO 'Lightning' "Joltin' Josie"; Josie Pond, owner of 44-23314, NX38BP.

The P-38 was unusually quiet for a fighter, since the exhaust was muffled by the turbo-superchargers. It was extremely forgiving and could be mishandled in many ways but the rate of roll in the early versions was too low for it to excel as a dogfighter. The P-38 was the only American fighter aircraft in large-scale production throughout American involvement in the war, from Pearl Harbor to Victory over Japan Day.
Powered by two Allison V-1710-111/113 V-12 piston engines. 1,600 hp each WEP at 60 inHg, 3,000 rpm. -[wiki]
