Other Post Lockheed XP-58 Chain Lightning

[pampa14]

The XP-58 was the largest version of the series of aircraft based on the P-38. The "Chain Lightning" was initially designed as a long-range bomber escort, but was redesigned as a low-altitude ground attack aircraft and finally retro-designed back to a bomber escort/attack aircraft. Engine and supercharger problems caused the project to be canceled after one aircraft was built. A compilation of photos of the prototype, can be found in the link:
