I've been through my refs and have noticed some P-38s have a landing light beneath the port wing where as others have it in the leading edge of the port wing.

I thought just the early models had the leading edge variety, but I've just found a photo of a 'J' model with the same! I'm guessing it depends on the factory where it was built?

In general where would a P-38J have a landing light?

Thanks in advance

P-38J: landing/taxi light under the left wing
P-38L: landing/taxi light on the leading edge of the left wing

You can see the landing / taxi light on the P-38F "Glacier Girl" here :


Here you can see both lights on the P-38L :


The P-38J at PoF has only the under wing configuration, sorry no photo.

Thanks for the replies
