 The Lockheed P-38 Lightning (inc. F-4 & F-5 versions) - A Complete Guide to the 'Fork-tailed Devil' by Richard A. Franks.Il Lockheed P-38J Lightning ("Fulmine" in inglese) era un caccia pesante bimotore statunitense a largo raggio d'azione, impiegato durante la seconda guerra mondiale dalla RAF e dagli Stati Uniti (AAC/AAF). Alla sua apparizione, nel 1939, era un aereo rivoluzionario, estremamente innovativo, grazie soprattutto alla fusoliera bitrave, ai due motori a V Allison con turbocompressori all'interno delle travi di coda e al carrello d'atterraggio a triciclo anteriore. Il pilota sedeva in un ampio abitacolo con ottima visibilità, ma la cabina di pilotaggio risultava torrida d'estate e gelida ovunque e in qualsiasi stagione ad alta quota. L'aereo era molto stabile grazie ai due motori che, girando in senso contrario, annullavano la tendenza ad imbardare, tipica dei caccia ad elica monomotore, anche se i propulsori Allison erano delicati e scarsamente affidabili.L'aereo volò alla fine degli anni trenta e un esemplare andò perduto perché in picchiata arrivò a superare gli 840 km/h, andando in un regime di compressibilità da alto numero di Mach per via della sua finezza; tale problema, che comportava la perdita di efficacia dei comandi di volo, fu riscontrato anche su altri velivoli (ad es. sul P-47). Nel 1939, sorvolò gli Stati Uniti da costa a costa, in appena 7 ore e 2 minuti con due sole soste per il rifornimento, una prestazione che a quei tempi aveva dell'incredibile. Il P-38 fu probabilmente il caccia più silenzioso della storia, dato che gli scarichi erano smorzati dai turbo della General Electric dei due motori Allison, e perdonava molti errori di pilotaggio, ma la sua velocità di rollio era troppo bassa perché potesse eccellere come caccia da duelli aerei. Ne vennero prodotti, in totale, 9.942 esemplari. Curiosamente, questo moderno e potente caccia ad elica divenne l'ultima vittima abbattuta da un biplano da caccia - un Fiat C.R.42 italiano - nella storia.

Airframe & Miniature No.1: The Messerschmitt Me-262 (Second Edition)Il Messerschmitt Me 262 era un aereo militare multiruolo a reazione, bimotore turbogetto e monoplano ad ala bassa e a freccia, sviluppato dall'azienda aeronautica tedesca Messerschmitt AG negli anni quaranta. Impiegato dalla Luftwaffe, l'aeronautica militare dell'allora Germania nazista durante le fasi finali della seconda guerra mondiale, detiene il primato di essere stato il primo caccia della storia con motore a getto ad entrare in servizio operativo e il primo caccia bireattore.Le versioni principali erano da caccia, soprannominata «Schwalbe» (in tedesco «rondine»), da bombardamento, soprannominata «Sturmvogel» («uccello delle tempeste») e da addestramento biposto.È considerato l'aereo più avanzato utilizzato dai tedeschi, precursore anche dei jet da combattimento realizzati nell'Unione Sovietica nell'immediato dopoguerra.. Confrontato con i caccia in dotazione agli alleati in quel periodo, compreso il Gloster Meteor che sarebbe entrato in servizio di lì a poco, il jet tedesco si rivelava più veloce e più potentemente armato.Ma numerosi problemi di messa a punto ne ritardarono l'entrata in servizio e i problemi tecnici di cui soffriva permisero di renderne operativo un numero di esemplari troppo limitato per poter influenzare le sorti della guerra aerea in Europa. Tuttavia, a differenza degli aerei a reazione degli alleati, che furono usati limitatamente in servizio operativo e senza scontrarsi con i velivoli nemici, i Me 262 abbatterono oltre 700 aerei, tra bombardieri e caccia.
