The Allison V-1710 aircraft engine was the only US-developed V-12 liquid-cooled engine to see service during World War II. Versions with a turbo supercharger gave excellent performance at high altitude in the twin-engined Lockheed P-38 Lightning

The clustered weapons had a "buzz saw" effect on any target at the receiving end, making the aircraft effective for strafing

The P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Named "fork-tailed devil" by the Luftwaffe
