Re: Early proposed French P-38 Lightning a/c

Hi Alex,

P-38's at boscombe down
AE978 & AE 979 arrived Dec'41

(although air brit serials say they were diverted before delivery
MJF Bowyer fighting colours lists them as having been seen there )

AF108 Jan 42 to USAAF 2 dec 42
AF106 April 42 to USAAF 10th July 42
AF105 July 42 to USAAF 1st July 43

All the articles/books I have read, show no P-38's produced before france fell. The first YP-38 flew in sep '40.

Cheers
Jerry
