Craft at Aleutians
WASHINGTON. June — The
fighting qualities of the Lock
heed P-38 planes had the praise
of Air Corps Commanding Gen

the recent engagement off the
Aleutian Islands is rightfully
yours.
Conditions Were Adverse
“Under the most adverse condi
t ons one of the greatest difficult
ies was in keeping contact with
the enemy hiding behind the
storm. Your P-38’s, which have
demonstrated their qualities a
j fighters, were pressed into ser
vice for the essential scouting
i work and in awesome flying wea
tiier with low ceilings, .perform
ed a seemingly hopeless task be
yond anticipation.”
Arnold’s reference to the fight
ing qualities of the Lockheed
