Taxiing past in pre-production livery at Flying Legends 2011. This final production s/n 44-53254 Lightning was built as a P-38L-5-LO at Burbank in 1944 which was similar to the late production P-38J, but powered by 1,600 hp Allison V-1710-F30R or -F30L engines. The aircraft was converted at the Dallas Modification Center in 1945 to an F-5G-6-LO Photo Lightning with a redesigned nose housing forward oblique, K-17 oblique and K-18 vertical cameras. It was sold into private hands after the war, modified as a racer and went to different owners. The aircraft was sold to Flying Bulls in 2004.

The RAF rejected the Lightning after receiving three aircraft (AE978 - AE980) which remained in the US. Lockheed insisted the RAF take the 667 aircraft ordered by the Anglo-French purchasing committee. The stand-off ended when the US entered the war and needed fighters itself. The RAF reevaluated the aircraft later but after testing in the UK turned down the type a second time. Photo from: Whites Aviation Collection/Alexander Turnbull Library

The RAF rejected the Lightning after receiving three aircraft (AE978 - AE980) which remained in the US. Lockheed insisted the RAF take the 667 aircraft ordered by the Anglo-French purchasing committee. The stand-off ended when the US entered the war and needed fighters itself. The RAF reevaluated the aircraft later but after testing in the UK turned down the type a second time. Photo from: Whites Aviation Collection/Alexander Turnbull Library

Actually a full scale wind tunnel model. It was never assigned a serial. It is painted to represent 43-78538, which is not a valid serial.

This P-38, one of 31 aircraft on display at the Lackland parade field, is a full scale wind tunnel model that was never assigned a serial. It carries the "Jandina IV" nose art as used on 43-28832, one of the five P-38s flown by Jay Robbins (all named Jandina I to V). Unfortunately, the painted tail number does not correspond to this. It instead pretends to be 43-78538, which is a non-existent serial. It's probably a painting error for 43-28538, which indeed does belong to a P-38J.
