Re: Early proposed French P-38 Lightning a/c
Maybe this is the answer. P38 c/n were prefixed with the model number. The P-38J were model number 422 and the numbers you quote were indeed P-38Js. The RAF aircraft were model P322 and were so designated when taken over by the US. There were 143 of them. Now here's the
intersting part: P-38F-13 c/n 322-3144-3172 P-38F-15 c/n 322-3173-3293 P-38G-15 c/n 322-3294-3667 From this you can reach your own conclusions. The above info comes from the "P-38 Lightning At War" by Joe Christy and Jeff Ethell. Hope this helps. Walt |
