The Pacific Profiles series offers the most precise WWII profiles of aircraft that operated throughout the South Pacific. Volume Nine focuses on the P-38 and its variants, including the photo-reconnaissance F-4 and F-5, as well as field-modified P-38G night-fighters. The P-38 saw combat in the SWPA and SOPAC theaters until mid-1944, serving a total of nineteen Fifth and Thirteenth Air Force USAAF combat Squadrons, one service squadron, Fifth Fighter Command, and finally with the Combat Replacement Training Center at Nadzab. Most profiles are presented for the first time, along with an explanation of markings, including squadron heraldry and squadron codes. Until now, there has been a lack of accurate information about some markings, particularly those associated with the Thirteenth Air Force, night-fighter, and photo-reconnaissance units. Each profile has been produced by citing extensive reference material, including official squadron records, color movies, maintenance logs, diaries, wreck site inspections, and thousands of photos, including color slides. A brief summary history of each unit and the rationale behind its markings completes the text. The author, Michael Claringbould, is renowned for his expertise on the Pacific air war. Never before have Pacific P-38s and their colorful derivatives been illustrated with such accuracy and detail.
