[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 1279132, member: 14779"] My grandfather might have known him. He worked at the Gleason Works designing the machine tools that were used to manufacture gears, but when the war broke out he went out to work at Lockheed in Burbank. He told me that the prop drive for the P-38 had resonant vibration issues, and before they got it worked out, a few of the test planes were lost. He said that that was one of the projects that he worked on. I remember building an Aurora scale model of the P-38. The twin fuselage idea made the model stand out, although obviously, since it wasn't duplicated in later aircraft, it was an idea whose time had not really come. [/QUOTE]
