The P-38L “Tangerine” is a notable, currently airworthy example of the **Lockheed P-38 Lightning**, a distinctive American heavy fighter from World War II. The aircraft is a restored warbird that honors a specific historical plane and pilot.


The Aircraft Variant: P-38L Lightning

P-38L-5-LO was the final and most mass-produced variant of the Lightning series. It was a twin-engine, twin-boom fighter designed for high altitude and long-range escort, primarily used by the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the Pacific and European Theaters.

  • 角色: Heavy Fighter, Fighter-Bomber, Long-Range Escort.
  • Distinguishing Features: Its unique twin-boom configuration earned it the German nickname “The Fork-Tailed Devil” (Der Gabelschwanz Teufel).
  • Improvements (L-Model): This variant introduced important modifications, including **hydraulically boosted ailerons** for improved roll rate and **dive flaps** to counter high-speed compressibility issues (a loss of control authority in steep dives).
  • 装备: Typically armed with four .50 caliber machine guns and one 20mm cannon clustered in the central nose nacelle.

The Name: “Tangerine”

The specific aircraft known as “Tangerine” is a restored warbird (Registration N2114L) painted with the markings and nose art of a P-38 flown by Lt. Ervin C. Ethell of the 48th Fighter Squadron, 14th Fighter Group, during the North African Campaign in 1942.

  • Nose Art Origin: The name is believed to be inspired by the popular song “Tangerine” recorded by the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra in 1941.
  • Historical Accuracy: The physical plane is a late-model P-38L that was converted for photo reconnaissance (F-5G) after the war. It has been restored to represent the look of the earlier “Tangerine” P-38F/G from the war’s early days.
  • Current Status: It is one of the few P-38s still capable of flight and is displayed and flown as part of the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras, Oregon.
