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 :) )
