* * * Update June 13, 2023: We just learned of the passing of our guest on this episode, Marshall Hannah. RIP, sir. 💔 * * *

The ‘Warbird Series’ opens with a discussion on the iconic Lockheed P-38 Lightning. Designed by the legendary Kelly Johnson, the Lightning was the only two-engine, propeller-driven pursuit fighter of World War II, and former U.S. Air Force Captain, and WWII veteran, Marshall Hannah joins us to explore this distinctly unique aircraft. You won’t believe his story of training, combat, and so much more!

Warbird Series host, Boat, answers a listener question on pilot medical readiness, flight surgeon involvement in determining whether a pilot is “fit to fly”, and what kinds of medicinal products fighter pilots may be issued to enhance their concentration.
