Production. Lockheed P-38 pursuit planes. Another new Lockheed P-38 pursuit ship leaves the main assembly line of a large Western aircraft plant. The station stand has been swept clear and the ship is being lowered away to rest on its own wheels. From here it will be rolled to a test field where propellers will be installed. If trial flights and final inspections prove it satisfactory, the ship will be delivered to the Army

Production. Lockheed P-38 pursuit planes. A Lockheed P-38 pursuit ship, just returned from flight tests, is checked and reconditioned in the test hangar of a large Western aircraft plant. After these operations, the ship will be ready for delivery to the Army. The P-38 has performed brilliantly in action, notably in the Aleutians. Its long range and great firepower give it real promise as an escort for high-altitude bombers. At its best altitude, the P-38 is one of the world's fastest fighting planes
