This Lightning served in the Aleutians from May 1944. Unable to find back his base on Attu, pilot Lt Arthur Kidder made a skilful belly landing on Buldir Island on 2 February 1945. Although subsequently used as a practice target, the aircraft was salvaged in 1994 and restored, to be put on display in the Hill Aerospace Museum.
