Which one? The one by General Kenny? Yes, it is sitting here on my computer desk.

Or the one co-authored by his widow? No, its out of print, and I don't want to pay that much for it.

as a matter of fact, my sunglasses are sitting on top of ace of aces, from this picture a few months back

Looks like Warren Bodie's book on the 38 under the P38 model.

Careful though Cuber. If you start asking about 38 books, there are a few of em out there and we might just throw the whole list at ya

The Lockheed P-38 by Warren Bodie,
Great Book of WWII Airplanes which is a compilation of a 12 volume series in one large book. (the P38 part is by Jeffrey Ethell)

And beside my stick is a P38 mouse pad. (I think AKDogg was there when I bought that

)
