Twin Boom Drama — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The P-38 Lightning was the only US fighter in production from Pearl Harbor to V-J Day, serving in every major theatre with a planform instantly recognizable from the ground. Operation Vengeance — the 1943 intercept that downed Admiral Yamamoto — cemented the Lightning's place in Pacific war lore. The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was the first American aircraft designed from the outset as a night fighter, entering USAAF service in 1944 with SCR-720 radar and a dedicated radar operator station. Black Widow crews hunted German night intruders over Europe and conducted interdiction missions in the Pacific.
