About the P-38 National Association

OUR MISSION:

The P-38 National Association is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to collect data and memorabilia to preserve and perpetuate the memory of this classic WWII aircraft -- the P‑38 "Lockheed Lightning" -- for future generations.

OUR MEMBERS:

We have well over 1900 records of persons with hands-on experience with this state-of-the-art aircraft, and our membership currently consists of approximately 1,100 active members.

Members include pilots, maintenance personnel, crew chiefs, armorers, cooks, and administrators of any military organization flying or supporting this great aircraft - encompassing WASP personnel, technical representatives and manufacturing personnel of companies who supported the military or supplied the factories producing and maintaining the P-38.

Our membership also includes fans who had relatives involved with the manufacture or use of the planes and those who are enthusiasts of the P-38 (or WWII aviation history). These fans have become an important part in carrying on the legacy begun over 50 years ago.
