Roaring Glory Warbirds: P38 Lightning

Synopsis: 

Part 1: Checkout and Mission in the P38 Lightning
Pilots proclaimed it the hottest fighter of World War II.  The famous Lightning claimed its name by birthright: it was the first fighter to top 400 miles per hour.  Warbird pilot Jeff Ethell take you along on a mission in this incredible turbocharged, twin-engine interceptor.

Part 2: The Young Pilots
Why did kids right out of high school sign up to face the terror of aerial combat?  Was it the chance to fly the fastest fighter planes?  Or experience the thrills of both horsepower and firepower?  Wounded in a fiery crash landing, pilot Art Thorsen had a chilling premonition that suddenly turned into sheer terror over Germany.  Go along with America's Fighter Ace Heroes and discover how they fought to survive in the explosive and deadly skies.
