    As the U.S. Air Force celebrates its 75th birthday on September 18, let's look back at the legacy of the P-38 Lightning. It was considered the best in creative thinking and a leading edge in technology of its time by warfighters. The P-38 Lightning’s role in World War II was a game changer just like the capabilities of today’s F-35 Lightning II.

    The next feature in the F-35 Joint Program Office’s “Blast From the Past” series reflects on the first Lightning aircraft, the P-38 Lightning. (DoD photo-illustration/released)
