What I liked is the Film Leader
Hi Scott
I enjoy these old news films, one aspect of them that I really get a kick out of the differences in style from company to company and from nation and nation. Did anybody spot anything funny about the Lightening that was shown in one segment? Cheers Phil

Phil, do you mean the one flying with the nose gear extended and the main gear retracted?
Looks like somebody forgot to remove the ground pin  David

Yup thats the one
Hi Dave
I wonder what might have caused that, as news film is often assembled from unrelated segments of film we will never know if this actually happened on a mission and if the pilot had to return to base. Wonder how much that impacted the speed of the P-38 and what did it do to the flying characteristics. Cheers Phil

P38 Nose gear problem.
Hi Phil
I had another look at the video and in the momentary side view of the P38 the nose gear is not fully extended which would be the case if the ground pin was still in place but is laying at an angle to the rear, partially retracted. That would seem to indicate there was a malfunction in the retract mechanism. Not being familiar with P38s or their landing gear I wouldn't hazard a guess at what the problem might be. Presumably the film was taken from a chase plane that has come up to take a look but if the guy was trying to extend the landing gear why is the main gear still stowed? It's a much bigger problem if the landing gear won't extend than if it won't retract so you would really want to know that it was going to work. It is an odd situation. David
