Jim Kunkle, a veteran of World War II who flew close air support and escort missions as the allies advanced east after D-Day, describes what it was like to fly the legendary P-38 Lightning in combat. He also details the fateful mission where he shot down a Luftwaffe FW-190 before getting shot down himself.
