Fork Tailed Devil (Lightning) by Ivan Berryman
It was during the inter-war period that a reawakening interest in twin
engined fighter design prompted several countries to investigate a number
of revolutionary concepts, of these only the Lockheed's sleek and unconventional
P.38 was to be put into large scale production, proving to be a versatile
and dominant fighter possessed of extremely long range, good speed and
manoeuverability and a formidable armament. When production ceased in
1945, 9,923 examples of the P38 "Lightning" had been delivered.

Berlin Bound by Anthony Saunders.

On March 6th, 1944, The USAAF were involved in the massive air raid on Berlin, 69 B17s were lost – but the Luftwaffe lost 160 planes. Whereas the US 8th Air Force could recover from these aircraft losses, the German Luftwaffe could not. By the end of the war, the 8th Air Force and the Royal Air Force had destroyed 70% of Berlin.
