These Bombers Lead the Way P-38J “Droop Snoot” Lightning The “Droop Snoot” Increases Accuracy Lockheed Aircraft, with their revolutionary design, won the Armys contract for a single-seat long-range fighter/bomber. Powered by dual Allison V-1710 engines, the first P-38s served mainly as long-range interceptors and escorts. Concerned by a lack of accuracy of our bombers, some P-38Js were converted to carry a bombardier with a Norden precision sight in a glazed nose cone. These “Droop Snoot” Lightnings then led the bombing formation. When they dropped their load, all the others followed suit.
