Hi Roland,
i think this button could be for the dive recovery flaps.
the P38 suffered from buffeting in high speed dives when it reached trans sonic speeds. these quick action flaps helped reduce the turbulance and allowed the pilot to recover the aircraft from the dive.

Regards
Roy

Hi All,

Kelly B. Kalcheim of the P-38 National Association wrote me it might be that the position was a modified site for perhaps a caging control or perhaps a cockpit rheostat (according to their historian John Stanaway).

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,
with all respect to the gentlemen who offered their help with this problem, i cannot understand how it could be a rheostat. a rheostat has a variable setting and i would have thought it would have to be a dial that was turned, rather than a push button.?
i didnt even know what a caging control was, but having read up on what it is, this also sounds more like it would be a variable control.?

however im sure these gentlemen have far more knowledge of the P 38 than i will ever have.

Regards
Roy

Roy,

Like you I'm afraid we still have to wait for the right answer...it seems it was their historian's wildest guess on this thing :roll:

Roy,

if you need dokuments of the P-38, I have a "PilotŽs Flight Operationg Instruction" with 57 pages of P-38H, J, L-1. L-5 and F-5B.
Three files of the cockpit area too.


Let me know if you have interest ;)

Regards
Nils
