CFS2 French Lockheed P-38 Lightning. The U.S., because of its lend lease agreement with allied nations, sent a limited number of P38's for use by the French. Most of these aircraft were of F-5 variants for photo recon, yet there were a few that were of the standard J variant. This perticular aircraft is of GR 2/33 which flew over Europe during 1944. The French used many different variants over a long period and in all campaigns from North Africa to the main continent. Original by Hugh Stoults and Gryphon Aviation Repainted by J-P Demmerle.
