1. 3/4 left front view, with the "Spruce Goose" tail in the
background. |
 |
2. Head on shot, "Spruce Goose" in background. (That's a BIG
plane!) |
 |
3. Nose and guns. I've not seen many P-38s with kill markings on the
right side and the left side. They're usually only on the left. |
 |
4. Inboard side of the left engine nacelle. Even on bare-metal
P-38s, a oval mirror was polished on the inboard side of each nacelle to view the nose
gear. |
 |
5. Left pylon. This pylon would normally have a gun camera fairing.
|
 |
6. Nose gear and door. On some planes this is painted yet on others
it is not. |
 |
7. An Allison V-1710 (P-38 engine) sits on the floor next to the engine
compartment. |
 |
8. Close up of nacelle showing the open oil cooler exhaust
vent. |
 |
9. Left outboard engine coolant radiator housing with vent door closed. |
 |
10. Tailplane. |
 |
11. Rear left portion of the plane. |
 |
12. Mid portion of plane. |
 |
13. Same vantage as #12, but close up of turbosupercharger and cockpit
canopy. |
 |
14. Full plane, left side. |
 |
15. Full plane, left side profile. |
 |
16. The wing root fillet (where wing meets fuselage) was very important to
the P-38s aerodynamic stability. |
 |
17. Cockpit and canopy close-up. |
 |
18. Left propeller and spinner. |
 |
19. Close up of spinner. |
 |
20. Nose gear, front view. |
