Watch Programming the Nation? Trailer

A latest trailer for a arriving underline documentary “PROGRAMMING THE NATION?” – about a purported story of subconscious programming in America. Are we all being brainwashed? Or, have we usually mislaid a minds? You be a judge…

The all latest as good as updated Introduction of Ignite Productions, shortly to be released, underline amicable documentary, “PROGRAMMING THE NATION?” Project: Awareness www.youtube.com “PROGRAMMING THE NATION?” is a underline amicable documentary about a story of subconscious messaging in America. According to many authorities, given a late 1950′s subconscious calm has been tested as good as delivered by all forms of mass-media. Director, Jeff Warrick, leads this debate by a subconscious thoughts whilst examining a reported history, systematic examine as good as intensity goods of such techniques upon society. Our complicated troops has even been indicted of these practices in a “War upon Terror,” opposite soldiers as good as civilians, both abroad as good as during home. With eye-opening footage, divulgence interviews, funny anecdotes, as good as an form of visible effects, a movie definitely explores a purported use of subliminals in advertising, music, film, television, anti-theft devices, domestic propaganda, troops mental operations, as good as modernized weapons development. As a result, Warrick creates it his personal goal to establish if these manipulative strategy have succeeded in “Programming a Nation?” Or, if subconscious programming belongs in a worry of what many journey civic legend?

Details, quoting from Smithsonian National Air as good as Space Museum | Lockheed P-38J-10-LO Lightning

In a P-38 Lockheed operative Clarence "Kelly" Johnson as good as his organisation of designers combined a singular of a many successful twin-engine fighters ever flown by any nation. From 1942 to 1945, U. S. Army Air Forces pilots flew P-38s over Europe, a Mediterranean, as good as a Pacific, as good as from a solidified Aleutian Islands to a sun-baked deserts of North Africa. Lightning pilots in a Pacific drama downed some-more Japanese aircraft than pilots drifting any alternative Allied warplane.

Maj. Richard I. Bong, America’s heading warrior ace, flew this P-38J-10-LO upon Apr 16, 1945, during Wright Field, Ohio, to weigh an initial process of interconnecting a transformation of a stifle as good as propeller lift out levers. However, his right engine exploded in moody prior to he could lift out a experiment.

Long Description:
From 1942 to 1945, a rumble of P-38 Lightnings was listened around a world. U. S. Army pilots flew a P-38 over Europe, a Mediterranean, as good as a Pacific; from a solidified Aleutian Islands to a sun-baked deserts of North Africa. Measured by success in combat, Lockheed operative Clarence "Kelly" Johnson as good as a organisation of designers combined a many successful twin-engine warrior ever flown by any nation. In a Pacific Theater, Lightning pilots downed some-more Japanese aircraft than pilots drifting any alternative Army Air Forces warplane.

Johnson as good as his organisation recognised this twin-engine, single-pilot warrior ride in 1936 as good as a Army Air Corps certified a organisation to set up it in Jun 1937. Lockheed achieved constructing a antecedent XP-38 as good as delivered it to a Air Corps upon New Year’s Day, 1939. Air Corps exam commander in chief in chief as good as P-38 devise officer, Lt. Benjamin S. Kelsey, initial flew a aircraft upon Jan 27. Losing this antecedent in a pile-up during Mitchel Field, New York, with Kelsey during a controls, did not deter a Air Corps from grouping thirteen YP-38s for use contrast upon Apr 27. Kelsey survived a pile-up as good as remained an critical partial of a Lightning program. Before a ride could be spoken ready for combat, Lockheed had to retard a goods of high-speed aerodynamic compressibility as good as tail buffeting, as good as compromise alternative problems detected during a use tests.

The many disturbing worry was a detriment of lift out in a dive caused by aerodynamic compressibility. During late open 1941, Air Corps Major Signa A. Gilke encountered critical difficulty whilst diving his Lightning during high-speed from an rise of 9,120 m (30,000 ft). When he reached an indicated airspeed of about 515 kph (320 mph), a airplane’s tail began to shake up vigourously as good as a nose forsaken until a dive was roughly vertical. Signa recovered as good as landed safely as good as a tail smorgasboard complaint was shortly resolved after Lockheed commissioned latest fillets to urge airflow where a cockpit gondola assimilated a wing core section. Seventeen months upheld prior to engineers began to establish what caused a Lightning’s nose to drop. They tested a scale indication P-38 in a Ames Laboratory breeze hovel operated by a NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) as good as found which startle waves shaped when airflow over a wing heading edges reached transonic speeds. The nose dump as good as detriment of lift out was never entirely remedied yet Lockheed commissioned dive liberation flaps underneath any wing in 1944. These inclination slowed a P-38 sufficient to concede a commander in chief in chief to say lift out when diving during high-speed.

Just as a growth of a North American P-51 Mustang, Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, as good as a Vought F4U Corsair (see NASM collect up for these aircraft) pushed a boundary of aircraft opening in to unexplored territory, so as good did P-38 development. The sort of aircraft envisioned by a Lockheed pattern organisation as good as Air Corps strategists in 1937 did not crop up until Jun 1944. This long corruption duration mirrors a tribulations suffered by Vought in classification out a many technical problems which kept F4U Corsairs off U. S. Navy conduit decks until a finish of 1944.

Lockheed’s efforts to trouble-shoot assorted problems with a pattern additionally during a behind of high-rate, mass production. When Japan pounded Pearl Harbor, a association had delivered usually 69 Lightnings to a Army. Production usually increasing as good as during a rise in 1944, twenty-two sub-contractors built assorted Lightning components as good as shipped them to Burbank, California, for final assembly. Consolidated-Vultee (Convair) subcontracted to set up a wing core domain as good as a organisation after became budding manufacturer for 2,000 P-38Ls yet which company’s Nashville plant achieved usually 113 examples of this Lightning indication prior to war’s end. Lockheed as good as Convair achieved 10,038 P-38 aircraft together with 500 photo-reconnaissance models. They built some-more L models, 3,923, than any alternative version.

To palliate lift out as good as urge stability, quite during low speeds, Lockheed versed all Lightnings, solely a collect up systematic by Britain, with propellers which counter-rotated. The propeller to a pilot’s left incited counter-clockwise as good as a propeller to his right incited clockwise, so which a singular propeller countered a hanging ornament as good as airflow goods generated by a other. The ride additionally achieved good during tall speeds as good as a decisive P-38L indication could have softened than 676 kph (420 mph) in in in between 7,600 as good as 9,120 m (25,000 as good as 30,000 ft). The pattern was versatile sufficient to lift assorted combinations of bombs, air-to-ground rockets, as good as outmost fuel tanks. The multi-engine pattern marked down a Lightning loss-rate to anti-aircraft gunfire during belligerent conflict missions. Single-engine airplanes versed with energy plants cooled by pressurized liquid, such as a North American P-51 Mustang (see NASM collection), were quite vulnerable. Even a tiny scrape in a singular coolant line could means a engine to seize in a have a difference of minutes.

The initial P-38s to strech a Pacific quarrel drama arrived upon Apr 4, 1942, when a chronicle of a Lightning which carried reconnoitering cameras (designated a F-4), assimilated a 8th Photographic Squadron formed in Australia. This section launched a initial P-38 quarrel missions over New Guinea as good as New Britain during April. By May 29, a initial twenty-five P-38s had arrived in Anchorage, Alaska. On Aug 9, pilots of a 343rd Fighter Group, Eleventh Air Force, drifting a P-38E, shot down a span of Japanese drifting boats.

Back in a United States, Army Air Forces leaders attempted to lift out a gossip which Lightnings killed their own pilots. On Aug 10, 1942, Col. Arthur I. Ennis, Chief of U. S. Army Air Forces Public Relations in Washington, told a associate military military officer "… Here’s what a 4th Fighter [training] Command is up against… usual gossip out there which a total West Coast was filled with headless bodies of organisation who jumped out of P-38s as good as had their heads cut off by a propellers." Novice Lightning pilots different with a scold bailout procedures essentially had some-more to fright from a twin-boom tail, if an puncture commanded receiving to a parachute yet scrupulously executed, Lightning bailouts were as protected as parachuting from any alternative high-performance warrior of a day. Misinformation as good as furious conjecture about many latest aircraft was prevalent during a early War period.

Along with U. S. Navy Grumman F4F Wildcats (see NASM collection) as good as Curtiss P-40 Warhawks (see NASM collection), Lightnings were a initial American warrior airplanes able of consistently defeating Japanese warrior aircraft. On Nov 18, organisation of a 339th Fighter Squadron became a initial Lightning pilots to conflict Japanese fighters. Flying from Henderson Field upon Guadalcanal, they claimed 3 during a goal to chaperon Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bombers (see NASM collection).

On Apr 18, 1943, fourteen P-38 pilots from a 70th as good as a 339th Fighter Squadrons, 347th Fighter Group, achieved a singular of a many critical Lightning missions of a war. American ULTRA cryptanalysts had decoded Japanese messages which suggested a calendar for a revisit to a front by a commander in chief in chief of a Imperial Japanese Navy, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. This charismatic personality had crafted a devise to conflict Pearl Harbor as good as Allied strategists believed his detriment would exceedingly ravage Japanese morale. The P-38 pilots flew 700 km (435 miles) during heights from 3-15 m (10-50 feet) upon tip of a sea to equivocate detection. Over a seashore of Bougainville, they intercepted a arrangement of dual Mitsubishi G4M BETTY bombers (see NASM collection) carrying a Admiral as good as his staff, as good as 6 Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters (see NASM collection) upon condition which escort. The Lightning pilots downed both bombers yet mislaid Lt. Ray Hine to a Zero.

In Europe, a initial Americans to down a Luftwaffe aircraft were Lt. Elza E. Shahan drifting a 27th Fighter Squadron P-38E, as good as Lt. J. K. Shaffer drifting a Curtiss P-40 (see NASM collection) in a 33rd Fighter Squadron. The dual flyers usual a drop of a Focke-Wulf Fw 200C-3 Condor nautical set upon aircraft over Iceland upon Aug 14, 1942. Later which month, a 1st warrior organisation supposed Lightnings as good as began quarrel operations from bases in England yet this section shortly altered to quarrel in North Africa. More than a year upheld prior to a P-38 reappeared over Western Europe. While a Lightning was absent, U. S. Army Air Forces strategists had relearned a unpleasant lesson: unescorted bombers cannot work successfully in a face of dynamic antithesis from rivalry fighters. When P-38s returned to England, a initial goal had turn long-range bomber chaperon during ranges of about 805 kms (500 miles) as good as during altitudes upon tip of 6,080 m (20,000 ft).

On Oct 15, 1943, P-38H pilots in a 55th Fighter Group flew their initial quarrel goal over Europe during a time when a need for long-range escorts was acute. Just a day before, German warrior pilots had broken 60 of 291 Eighth Air Force B-17 Flying Fortresses (see NASM collection) during a goal to explosve 5 ball-bearing plants during Schweinfurt, Germany. No air force could means a loss-rate of scarcely twenty percent for some-more than a couple of missions yet these targets lay good over a operation of accessible chaperon fighters (Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, see NASM collection). American quarrel planners hoped a long-range capabilities of a P-38 Lightning could hindrance this lethal trend, yet a really tall as good as really cold sourroundings rare to a European air quarrel caused serious energy plant as good as cockpit heating difficulties for a Lightning pilots. The long-range chaperon complaint was not utterly solved until a North American P-51 Mustang (see NASM collection) began to arrive in immeasurable numbers early in 1944.

Poor cockpit heating in a H as good as J indication Lightnings finished drifting as good as fighting during altitudes which often approached 12,320 m (40,000 ft) scarcely impossible. This was a elemental pattern smirch which Kelly Johnson as good as his organisation never expected when they written a ride 6 years earlier. In his seminal work upon a Allison V-1710 engine, Daniel Whitney analyzed in item alternative factors which finished a P-38 a unsatisfactory ride in quarrel over Western Europe.

• Many latest as good as uninformed pilots arrived in England during Dec 1943, along with a latest J indication P-38 Lightning.

• J indication rated during 1,600 horsepower vs. 1,425 for progressing H indication Lightnings. This energy environment compulsory softened upkeep in in in between flights. It appears this work was not finished in many cases.

• During stateside training, Lightning pilots were taught to fly during tall rpm settings as good as low engine plural vigour during journey flight. This was really tough upon a engines, as good as not in gripping with technical directives expelled by Allison as good as Lockheed.

• The peculiarity of fuel in England competence have been poor, TEL (tetraethyl lead) fuel further appeared to precipitate inside engine initiation manifolds, causing eruption (destructive blast of fuel reduction rsther than than tranquil burning).

• Improved turbo supercharger intercoolers appeared upon a J indication P-38. These inclination severely marked down plural temperatures yet this speedy TEL precipitation in manifolds during journey moody as good as increasing hint retard fouling.

Using H2O injection to minimize eruption competence have marked down these engine problems. Both a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt as good as a North American P-51 Mustang (see NASM collection) were propitious with H2O injection systems yet not a P-38. Lightning pilots a single after an additional to fly, notwithstanding these handicaps.

During Nov 1942, dual all-Lightning warrior groups, a 1st as good as a 14th, began handling in North Africa. In a Mediterranean Theater, P-38 pilots flew some-more sorties than Allied pilots drifting any alternative sort of fighter. They claimed 608 rivalry a/c broken in a air, 123 substantially broken as good as 343 damaged, opposite a detriment of 131 Lightnings.

In a quarrel opposite Japan, a P-38 indeed excelled. Combat frequency occurred upon tip of 6,080 m (20,000 ft) as good as a engine as good as cockpit joy problems usual in Europe never tormented pilots in a Pacific Theater. The Lightning’s glorious operation was used to full value upon tip of a immeasurable expanses of water. In early 1945, Lightning pilots of a 12th Fighter Squadron, 18th Fighter Group, flew a goal which lasted 10 ½ hours as good as lonesome some-more than 3,220 km (2,000 miles). In August, P-38 pilots determined a world’s long-distance jot down for a World War II quarrel warrior when they flew from a Philippines to a Netherlands East Indies, a stretch of 3,703 km (2,300 miles). During early 1944, Lightning pilots in a 475th Fighter Group began a ‘race of aces.’ By March, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas J. Lynch had scored twenty-one victories prior to he fell to antiaircraft gunfire whilst strafing rivalry ships. Major Thomas B. McGuire downed 38 Japanese aircraft prior to he was killed when his P-38 crashed during low rise in early Jan 1945. Major Richard I. Bong became America’s tip scoring warrior genius (40 victories) yet died in a pile-up of a Lockheed P-80 (see NASM collection) upon Aug 6, 1945.

Museum annals uncover which Lockheed reserved a building a whole array 422-2273 to a National Air as good as Space Museum’s P-38. The Army Air Forces supposed this Lightning as a P-38J-l0-LO upon Nov 6, 1943, as good as a use identified a ride with a sequence array 42-67762. Recent investigations conducted by a organisation of specialists during a Paul E. Garber Facility, as good as Herb Brownstein, a proffer in a Aeronautics Division during a National Air as good as Space Museum, have suggested many hitherto different aspects to a story of this aircraft.

Brownstein delicately suspicion about NASM files as good as papers during a National Archives. He detected which a couple of days after a Army Air Forces (AAF) supposed this airplane, a Engineering Division during Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, postulated Lockheed accede to modify this P-38 in to a two-seat trainer. The organisation combined a chair during a behind of a commander in chief in chief to residence an earthy education instructor who would sight municipal pilots in instrument drifting techniques. Once trained, these exam pilots evaluated latest Lightnings uninformed off a public line.

In a teletype sent by a Engineering Division upon Mar 2, 1944, Brownstein additionally detected which this P-38 was expelled to Colonel Benjamin S. Kelsey from Mar 3 to Apr 10, 1944, to lift out special tests. This transformation was reliable a following day in a wire from a War Department. This same pilot, afterwards a Lieutenant, flew a XP-38 opposite a United States in 1939 as good as survived a pile-up which broken this Lightning during Mitchel Field, New York. In early 1944, Kelsey was reserved to a Eighth Air Force in England as good as he assumingly trafficked to a Lockheed bureau during Burbank to collect up a P-38. Further report about these tests as good as Kelsey’s impasse sojourn an appealing question.

One of Brownstein’s many critical discoveries was a tiny jot down abounding with report about a NASM Lightning. This jot down contained a mysterious anxiety to a "Major Bong" who flew a NASM P-38 upon Apr 16, 1945, during Wright Field. Bong had programmed to fly for an hour to weigh an initial process of interconnecting a transformation of a stifle as good as propeller lift out levers. His moody finished after twenty-minutes when "the right engine blew up prior to we had a possibility [to lift out a test]." The curator during a Richard I. Bong Heritage Center reliable which America’s tip scoring genius finished this moody in a NASM P-38 Lightning.

Working in Building 10 during a Paul E. Garber Facility, Rob Mawhinney, Dave Wilson, Wil Lee, Bob Weihrauch, Jim Purton, as good as Heather Hutton outlayed multiform months during a open as good as summer of 2001 delicately disassembling, inspecting, as good as cleaning a NASM Lightning. They found any hardware alteration unchanging with a indication J-25 airplane, not a indication J-10 embellished in a interpretation retard underneath a artifact’s left nose. This actuality dovetails ideally with believe unclosed by Brownstein. On Apr 10, a Engineering Division again cabled Lockheed asking a association to hope for 42-67762 for send to Wright Field "in customary configuration." The customary P-38 pattern during which time was a P-38J-25. The work took multiform weeks as good as a warrior does not crop up upon Wright Field annals until May 15, 1944. On Jun 9, a Flight Test Section during Wright Field expelled a warrior for moody trials directed during pciking up commander in chief in chief comments upon how a ride handled.

Wright Field’s Aeromedical Laboratory was a subsequent classification concerned with this P-38. That section commissioned a pack upon Jul twenty-six which substantially totalled a force compulsory to pierce a lift out circle left as good as right to induce a power-boosted ailerons commissioned in all Lightnings commencement with chronicle J-25. From Aug 12-16, a Power Plant Laboratory carried out tests to magnitude a hydraulic siphon temperatures upon this Lightning. Then commencement Sep sixteen as good as durability about 10 days, a Bombing Branch, Armament Laboratory, tested sort R-3 fragmentation explosve racks. The work appears to have finished early in December. On Jun 20, 1945, a AAF Aircraft Distribution Office asked which a Air Technical Service Command send a Lightning from Wright Field to Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, a proxy land area for Air Force notable relic aircraft. The P-38 arrived during a Oklahoma City Air Depot upon Jun 27, 1945, as good as mechanics rebuilt a warrior for flyable storage.

Airplane Flight Reports for this Lightning additionally report a following activities as good as movements:

6-21-45 Wright Field, Ohio, 5.15 hours of flying.
6-22-45Wright Field, Ohio, .35 mins of drifting by Lt. Col. Wendel [?] J. Kelley as good as P. Shannon.
6-25-45Altus, Oklahoma, .55 hours flown, commander in chief in chief P. Shannon.
6-27-45Altus, Oklahoma, #2 engine changed, 1.05 hours flown by Air Corps F/O Ralph F. Coady.
10-5-45 OCATSC-GCAAF (Garden City Army Air Field, Garden City, Kansas), guns private as good as counterbalance added.
10-8-45Adams Field, Little Rock, Arkansas.

7-31-46 Freeman Field, Indiana, 4120th AAF Base Unit, packet moody to Orchard Place [Illinois] by 1st Lt. Charles C. Heckel.

On Aug 5, 1946, a AAF altered a aircraft to an additional storage site during a former Consolidated B-24 bomber public plant during Park Ridge, Illinois. A marked down time later, a AAF eliminated carry out of a Lightning as good as some-more than sixty alternative World War II-era airplanes to a Smithsonian National Air Museum. During a early 1950s, a Air Force altered these airplanes from Park Ridge to a Smithsonian storage site during Suitland, Maryland.

Quoting from Wikipedia | Lockheed P-38 Lightning:

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American fighter aircraft built by Lockheed. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, a P-38 had particular twin booms as good as a single, executive nacelle containing a cockpit as good as armament. Named "fork-tailed devil" by a Luftwaffe as good as "two planes, a singular pilot" by a Japanese, a P-38 was used in a array of roles, together with dive bombing, level bombing, ground-attack, print reconnaissance missions, as good as during length as a long-range chaperon warrior when versed with drop tanks underneath a wings.

The P-38 was used many successfully in a Pacific Theater of Operations as good as a China-Burma-India Theater of Operations as a mountain of America’s tip aces, Richard Bong (40 victories) as good as Thomas McGuire (38 victories). In a South West Pacific theater, a P-38 was a initial long-range warrior of United States Army Air Forces until a coming of immeasurable numbers of P-51D Mustangs toward a finish of a war. The P-38 was scarcely still for a fighter, a empty muffled by a turbo-superchargers. It was intensely forgiving, as good as could be mishandled in many ways, yet a rate of hurl was as good delayed for it to surpass as a dogfighter. The P-38 was a usually American warrior aircraft in prolongation via American impasse in a war, from Pearl Harbor to Victory over Japan Day.

Variants: Lightning in maturity: P-38J

The P-38J was introduced in Aug 1943. The turbo-supercharger intercooler complement upon prior variants had been housed in a heading edges of a wings as good as had proven exposed to quarrel repairs as good as could detonate if a wrong array of controls were incorrectly activated. In a P-38J model, a streamlined engine nacelles of prior Lightnings were altered to fit a intercooler radiator in in in between a oil coolers, combining a "chin" which visually renowned a J indication from a predecessors. While a P-38J used a same V-1710-89/91 engines as a H model, a latest core-type intercooler some-more well lowered money coming in plural temperatures as good as available a estimable enlarge in rated power. The heading corner of a outdoor wing was propitious with 55 gal (208 l) fuel tanks, stuffing a space prior to assigned by intercooler tunnels, yet these were wanting upon early P-38J blocks due to singular availability.

The final 210 J models, directed towards P-38J-25-LO, alleviated a compressibility complaint by a further of a set of electrically-actuated dive liberation flaps usually outboard of a engines upon a bottom centerline of a wings. With these improvements, a USAAF commander in chief in chief reported a dive speed of roughly 600 mph (970 km/h), nonetheless a indicated air speed was after prepared for compressibility error, as good as a tangible dive speed was lower. Lockheed done over 200 retrofit alteration kits to be commissioned upon P-38J-10-LO as good as J-20-LO already in Europe, yet a USAAF C-54 carrying them was shot down by an RAF commander in chief in chief who mistook a Douglas ride for a German Focke-Wulf Condor. Unfortunately a detriment of a kits came during Lockheed exam commander in chief in chief Tony LeVier‘s four-month morale-boosting debate of P-38 bases. Flying a latest Lightning declared "Snafuperman" mutated to full P-38J-25-LO specs during Lockheed’s alteration core nearby Belfast, LeVier prisoner a pilots’ full courtesy by customarily behaving maneuvers during Mar 1944 which usual Eighth Air Force knowledge hold to be suicidal. It valid as good small as good late since a preference had already been finished to re-equip with Mustangs.

The P-38J-25-LO prolongation retard additionally introduced hydraulically-boosted ailerons, a singular of a initial times such a complement was propitious to a fighter. This significantly softened a Lightning’s rate of hurl as good as marked down lift out forces for a pilot. This prolongation retard as good as a following P-38L indication have been deliberate a decisive Lightnings, as good as Lockheed ramped up production, operative with subcontractors opposite a republic to furnish hundreds of Lightnings any month.

Noted P-38 pilots

Richard Bong as good as Thomas McGuire

The American genius of aces as good as his closest aspirant both flew Lightnings as they tallied 40 as good as 38 victories respectively. Majors Richard I. "Dick" Bong as good as Thomas J. "Tommy" McGuire of a USAAF competed for a tip position. Both organisation were awarded a Medal of Honor.

McGuire was killed in air quarrel in Jan 1945 over a Philippines, after racking up 38 reliable kills, creation him a second-ranking American ace. Bong was rotated behind to a United States as America’s genius of aces, after creation 40 kills, apropos a exam pilot. He was killed upon 6 Aug 1945, a day a atomic explosve was forsaken upon Japan, when his P-80 Shooting Star jet warrior flamed out upon takeoff.

Charles Lindbergh

The important flier Charles Lindbergh toured a South Pacific as a municipal executive for United Aircraft Corporation, comparing as good as evaluating opening of single- as good as twin-engined fighters for Vought. He worked to urge operation as good as bucket boundary of a F4U Corsair, drifting both slight as good as quarrel strafing missions in Corsairs to one side Marine pilots. In Hollandia, he trustworthy himself to a 475th FG drifting P-38s so which he could examine a twin-engine fighter. Though latest to a machine, he was instrumental in fluctuating a operation of a P-38 by softened stifle settings, or engine-leaning techniques, particularly by shortening engine speed to 1,600 rpm, environment a carburetors for auto-lean as good as drifting during 185 mph (298 km/h) indicated airspeed which marked down fuel expenditure to 70 gal/h, about 2.6 mpg. This multiple of settings had been deliberate dangerous; it was suspicion it would dissapoint a fuel reduction as good as means an explosion. Everywhere Lindbergh went in a South Pacific, he was accorded a normal favoured diagnosis of a upon vacation colonel, yet he had quiescent his Air Corps Reserve colonel’s elect 3 years before. While with a 475th, he hold precision classes as good as took partial in a array of Army Air Corps quarrel missions. On twenty-eight Jul 1944, Lindbergh shot down a Mitsubishi Ki-51 "Sonia" flown expertly by a maestro commander in chief in chief of 73rd Independent Flying Chutai, Imperial Japanese Army Captain Saburo Shimada. In an extended, rambling dogfight in which many of a participants ran out of ammunition, Shimada incited his aircraft without delay toward Lindbergh who was usually coming a quarrel area. Lindbergh dismissed in a defensive greeting brought upon by Shimada’s strong head-on ramming attack. Hit by gunnery unit as good as appurtenance gun fire, a "Sonia’s" propeller visibly slowed, yet Shimada hold his course. Lindbergh pulled up during a final impulse to equivocate incident as a shop-worn "Sonia" went in to a high dive, strike a sea as good as sank. Lindbergh’s wingman, genius Joseph E. "Fishkiller" Miller, Jr., had additionally scored hits upon a "Sonia" after it had started a deadly dive, yet Miller was sure a kill credit was Lindbergh’s. The unaccepted kill was not entered in a 475th’s quarrel record. On twelve Aug 1944 Lindbergh left Hollandia to lapse to a United States.

Charles MacDonald

The seventh-ranking American ace, Charles H. MacDonald, flew a Lightning opposite a Japanese, scoring twenty-seven kills in his important aircraft, a Putt Putt Maru.

Robin Olds

Main article: Robin Olds

Robin Olds was a final P-38 genius in a Eighth Air Force as good as a final in a ETO. Flying a P-38J, he downed 5 German fighters upon dual apart missions over France as good as Germany. He subsequently transitioned to P-51s to have 7 some-more kills. After World War II, he flew F-4 Phantom IIs in Vietnam, finale his career as brigadier ubiquitous with sixteen kills.

Clay Tice

A P-38 piloted by Clay Tice was a initial American aircraft to land in Japan after VJ-Day, when he as good as his wingman set down upon Nitagahara since his wingman was low upon fuel.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Noted aviation colonize as good as bard Antoine de Saint-Exupéry dead in a F-5B-1-LO, 42-68223, c/n 2734, of Groupe de Chasse II/33, out of Borgo-Porreta, Bastia, Corsica, a reconnoitering various of a P-38, whilst upon a moody over a Mediterranean, from Corsica to mainland France, upon 31 Jul 1944. His health, both earthy as good as mental (he was pronounced to be once in a while theme to depression), had been deteriorating as good as there had been speak of receiving him off moody status. There have been suggestions (although no explanation to date) which this was a self-murder rsther than than an aircraft disaster or quarrel loss. In 2000, a French scuba diver found a disadvantage of a Lightning in a Mediterranean off a seashore of Marseille, as good as it was reliable in Apr 2004 as Saint-Exupéry’s F-5B. No justification of air quarrel was found. In Mar 2008, a former Luftwaffe pilot, Horst Rippert from Jagdgruppe 200, claimed to have shot down Saint-Exupéry.
