The F-5G was the reconnaissance variant conversion of the P-38L with a different camera configuration than the F-5F. It was the lightest and fastest of all the P-38 variants, having no armour or armament. After WWII this P-38 flew for numerous aerial survey companies until acquired by the Yanks Air Museum in 1990 and restored to the authentic photo-recon configuration.
