	P-38 Lightning (D James)
		In February 1939 the Arny Air Corps had issued a specification for a long-range pursuit interceptor and escort fighter, calling for a speed of 360 mph at 20,000 ft with an endurance (at this speed and altitude) of one hour.
		On 7 December 1941 - within minutes of the US declaration of war - a P-38E shot down a Luftwaffe Focke-Wulf 200C Condor maritime bomber near Iceland, and subsequently the Lightning was in the thick of fighting in North Africa and the Mediterranean, in North-Western Europe, and the Pacific.
		Although the Lightning was replaced by the the P-47 and P-51 as long-range escort in the US bomber campaign over Europe, in the Pacific it continued to be favoured as a front-line fighter, and it was deployed in large numbers up to the end of hostilities in August 1945.
