I have a 'P-38 Week' this week as I have received a copies of both P-38 Screamers (from Australia) and P-38 Restored (from the US)
I was looking at P-38 Restored last night and it covers the story of the restoration of The Planes of Fame P38J "Joltin Josie" by Steve Hintons Fighter Rebuilders in Chino in the mid to late 1980's. If you want a book full of pictures and text of restoring aircraft then this is the book you want.... Track down a copy NOW!!.. Though you may have to pay top dollar as I got the cheapest I coud find :-)
However, I did happen to notice that much of the restoration crew sported long hair (this was the 80's after all) and surprisingly moustaches!.. Are moustaches still de-rigure for your ace restoration crew???
