THE LOCKHEED LIGHTNING

 

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning

Was a World War II

American fighter aircraft

With distinctive twin booms

And one central nacelle,

Housing the cockpit

The P38 was nicknamed

The "fork-tailed devil"

By Luftwaffe Pilots

It was the very definition

Of versatility in fact it had it all

And was in the thick of it

From Pearl Harbour

To Victory over Japan Day

WHEN KITCHENER CALLED

When they hear the recruiter’s call And they take the King’s shilling They’re trained and uniformed And marched towards the killing
