Production. Lockheed P-38 pursuit planes. A new Lockheed P-38 pursuit plane takes form on the production line. The wings and the Allison engines are already in place, and the ship now stands on its own wheels. It still requires many detail jobs before completion, but they are done rapidly under a well-ordered plan, and the plane will soon be rolled out for the fitting of propellers
