P-38 A personal Story

I always loved the P-38.  To me growing in the 50' & 60's it was graceful looking aircraft.  The first time I was the aircraft was a painting in my neighbors home.  His name was Ted Lettus.  I asked him what airplane that was Ted said " Why that is a P-38."   That was the start of a love fair with this Twin Boomed wonder.   Also Ted was a model builder.   His wife worked at the library at Six mile and Schoenherr in Detroit.   There Ted had the monogram Ford Tr-Motor model on display.

Enough of my childhood...   Here is the video on the P-38
