| Research Notes: The twin-engine P-38 Lightning, a radical design conceived by Lockheed design genius Clarence "Kelly" Johnson in the late 1930s, became one of the war's most successful fighter planes, serving in Europe and the Pacific. About 10,000 of the planes were built, and about 32 complete or partial airframes are believed to still exist, perhaps 10 in operational condition. the 1st Photo-Recon Unit, Royal Australian Air Force Replicating Happy Jack's Go Buggy, the P-38 Lighting flown by eight-victory ace Capt.
