The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a World War II American fighter aircraft. Named "fork-tailed devil" (der Gabelschwanz-Teufel) by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese, the P-38 was used in a number of roles, including interception, dive bombing, level bombing, ground-attack, night fighting, photo reconnaissance, radar and visual pathfinding for bombers, and evacuation missions,[8] and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings.

My attempt at the American P-38 Lightning. Handles beautifully at top speed. I also just realized that I forgot to adjust the yaw, so feel free to change that to your liking
