Nowokuński - caused that engines were late and ready to service just in 1939. Two prototypes of P-38 were built with temporary engines in 1937 and the first flight had place in 1938. P-38 Wilk was shown to the world public as the star of the 16th International Paris Aviation Salon in November 1938. The experts called him the most advanced and beautiful plane in the world. P-38 was the first aircraft designed to use laminar flow airfoils. It was over 10 years before last version of famous North American P-51 „Mustang"!
