Re: Help with a P38 serial number please
The 4 digit number on the nose of a P-38 usually was the Lockheed construction number. There were two P-38s with that construction number. P-39G 222-7316 (222-7305/7401 42-12870/12966) and P-38L 422-7316 (422-6063/8262 44-25059/27258). The one you're looking for is probably among the latter, as 500 aircraft from this block was converted to F-5Es. If my arithmetic is correct the USAAC serial for 422-7316 would be 44-26312. Hope this helps. Source: P-38 Lightning At War
