The P-38J Pudgy was designed by Clarence “Kelly” Johnson in response to the Army specification for an aircraft that can reach 20,000 feet in 6 minutes. The P38 had its unique twin booms with forward-mounted engines. It was the only American fighter with twin booms during World War II. It was most used for bombing and reconnaissance missions and in theaters of war such as the Pacific Theater and the China-Burma-India Operations.
