P-38
- Aircraft Listing
  
  We are attempting to create a comprehensive list of the planes, pilots and crew of the 475th FG. There will be additions and corrections made as we get new or updated info coming in.
- Cockpit Display
  
  One exhibit that is a favorite with our guests is our P-38 Cockpit Display. Our guests can actually climb into this authentic replica and relive a little of what pilots had to deal with before we had computers or GPS.
- Nose Art
  
  Nose art was a popular moral builder, it ranged from tame cartoon characters to some really “RACEY” women. Our Nose Art Gallery is a collection of personal photos, museum archives, and some taken from “Possum, Clover and Hades”, by John Stanaway, and “Lightning Strikes”, by Ronald Yoshino.
