Re: Lockheed P-38 Lightning - successful over five continents
Michael,
They are in my book, Stars and Bars, as are the claims for all other American aces after WW1. You should get a copy, from the used book market, since it is long out of print, but readily available. Enjoy! Frank.

Re: Lockheed P-38 Lightning - successful over five continents
Good afternoon Frank,
meanwhile, I found that Richard Bong scored his first 24 kills over what is now the country of Papua New Guinea, then 6 kills over Indonesia and then 10 kills over the Philipines. I didn't find Stars And Bars at the German amazon but I'll keep my eyes open for it ! Michael |

Re: Lockheed P-38 Lightning - successful over five continents

I found one copy of Amazon.de, about 10 on Amazon.com, and about 11 on ABEBooks. Probably a lot of overlap between Amazon.com and ABEBooks. Two of the dealers on ABEBooks are in the UK, which would reduce the postage from that for a US book dealer. I don't remember the price comparison between the UK and German dealers. The book is 668 pages, not the 696 that seems to be what everyone reports. Published in 1995 at $69.95, and 45 pounds. Out of print for probably 20 years. Some updates to it are in the back of Aces High, Volume 2. Enjoy! Frank.

Re: Lockheed P-38 Lightning - successful over five continents
...STARS AND BARS reveals that William Sloan scored 5 kills over Africa and 7 kills over Europe. Does anybody know a P-38 ace with a higher score over the continent of Africa ?
Cheers, Michael |

Re: Lockheed P-38 Lightning - successful over five continents
...the top-scoring P-38 pilots in the African campaign seem to be
Claude Kinsey and Meldrum Sears. Can anybody tell me the locations of their kills ? Cheers, Michael |
