Aaa Lightning!
The P38 Lightning was designed to be a long-range fighter. This plane was the 1st fighter with turbochargers and a tricycle undercarriage. It was complex and expensive to produce.
The Lightning was first used in the Pacific theater. Its most famous action occurred there in 1943 when it courageously downed Admiral Yamamoto who was the Japanese commander in chief. In 1944 the P38 was introduced to Europe. There it was used by the tactical air forces for ground attack and photographic reconnaissance.
