I Can't Keep Calm!
My Props Counter-Rotate!
The "Keep Calm" slogan has become so popular these days, we felt compelled to put our own "spin" on it!
The original purpose of this slogan has been lost to commercialism, but "Keep Calm and Carry On" was actually a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 in preparation for WWII. It was intended to raise the morale of the British public, threatened with widely predicted mass air attacks on London and other major cities in Britain.

Fork-Tailed Devil
The German Luftwaffe gave the P‑38 the nickname of "Der Gabelschwanz
Teufel"or the "Forked-Tailed Devil" (maybe because it "went like hell"
according to aviation author Warren Bodie.
This particular insignia (minus the "P‑38 Lightning"
text at
the bottom) was used by the 49th Fighter Squadron out of Foggia, Italy.

Aircraft of the Aces
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was the favorite combat airplane of the two top "Aces" of World War II, Richard Bong and Thomas McGuire.
Bong was the top-scoring ace of all of the pilots who flew in battle, with 40 kills to his record, and became known as "America's Ace of Aces."

Lightning Never Strikes Twice...
Yeah...right!
Well, we know this old cliché isn't accurate if you're
talking about the P‑38 Lightning!
With more "strikes" than any other pilots during WWII, America's top two Aces chose the P-38 as their plane of choice!

Lightning Strikes in the Area
Watch Your Six!
For those of you not familiar with this expression, it means to
look behind you for dangers coming that you can't see.
If you view an airplane from the top and lay an analog clock
over it, the 6 o'clock position is behind the plane.
