P-38, Inspection

"P-38 major (1,000 hrs?) check up" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Inspecting a P-38. Ten or twelve mechanics do a 200-hour inspection on this twin-engine fighter, the only mass-produced twin-engine fighter in World War II. '[T]he P-38 will be forever linked to the South Pacific. Japanese ships and aircraft were being savaged under the guns of skilled American pilots. The Japanese were never able to be on the offensive, and were usually on their heels. The P-38 routinely destroyed bombers, fighters, and ships without many losses. In fact, the average kill ratio was over 10 to 1. For every ten confirmed kills, only one P-38 was lost to all causes (this includes being shot down, lost at sea, and mechanical failures)." ("Darkroom Soldier" caption authored by George Venn)

"C-46 Refueling" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Fueling. A soldier waits on his tanker as high octane fuel fills the plane's tanks. On their return from missions, planes were refueled immediately. Hill described the day: 'Rode down to the line with Baxter this afternoon and shot twenty five feet of Kodachrome on one of our planes as it came back from a mission. Got it as it taxied into the parking area, the gas and oil trucks coming up to service the plane, crews piling out and walking away with parachutes and brief cases of maps."
