Setting up your "wallpaper" on a PC
(For a Mac, check your manual.)

When you start up your computer, there is a picture (or blank screen) showing in the background. In computer-speak, this picture is called "wallpaper" because it acts as a background for whatever icons you have on your screen.  You can make your background display a photo of a P-38 if you'd like.  It looks terrific -- much better than just a boring, solid color.  To make a P-38 your background display, do the following:

Newer Windows Systems:
When you're using your browser, you can place your mouse cursor over either of the following pictures and choose "set as background" option (make sure to wait until the entire picture has downloaded before clicking).

Older Windows Systems:

1. Right click on the above picture and choose the "Save Picture As" option.  Save the picture to someplace where you can easily find it during the next steps.

2. Open Display in Control Panel.  (To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.)

3. On the Desktop tab, click "Browse" to find the picture you just saved above. In Position, click Center, Tile, or Stretch.

4. Select a color from Desktop color. The color fills the space not used by a picture.

PS -- We'll be adding more wallpapers as we go along...so check back.

Our entire operation is supported entirely by people like you.

As our parents, grandparents and friends who were "hands on" with the P-38 Lightning are continuing to leave us, keeping this website available as a tribute to them is vital.  This aircraft was an important part of their lives and their history, and to carry on this legacy, we need funding.

What would you pay for a good aviation DVD or book? If you enjoy this website, please consider a financial contribution of the same amount to help defray our increasing costs and ensure that this part of aviation history continues to be available to people all over the world.

We have a page to thank our website's financial contributors and will add your name when you make a contribution.  No donation is too small, after all $1 from a million visitors will keep us going a very long time!
