Called the 'Fork Tailed Devil' in the Far East, the P-38 Lightning was a sight to strike fear into an enemy's heart. First flown in 1938, the design focus was on speed and agility and the type went on to perform in many theatres in WWII. It was used in fighter, attack and even high-altitude PR (Photo Reconnaissance) roles.
The warbird experts at Aeroplane Heaven have spent countless hours developing this iconic aircraft for use in Flight Simulator. With such a superbly user-friendly Virtual Cockpit, it was decided not to model the 'traditional' 2D instrument panel. The aircraft is packed with detail, from the gun and camera bays to the authentic 17 liveries included in this package.
Two famous PR aircraft are included – the aircraft of Adrian Warburton and Antoine de St Exupery – both of which were lost in mysterious circumstances. Also featured is 'Glacier Girl', which force-landed in Greenland 60 years ago and has recently been recovered and restored to flying condition from under 260 feet of ice!
