Design, Development, & History[]

The XP-38G was the prototype that soon became the P-38. The aircraft is very similar to the P-38G, and is virtually identical to the Lightning, the only visual difference being smaller air intakes below the propellers. aircraft first flew on January 27, 1938. Production began in June of 1941. The XP-38G featured a yoke, instead of the conventional "stick" seen on almost all fighter planes.
