...hours hitching but the cars seemed to be moving too fast to notice us in the dark. We got one ride that took us to a suburb of Reno--a few huts--and that's where I decided we should wait till the morning. First we went to an all-night gas station and asked if we could stay there, but the attendant kicked us out, saying there was "some kind of monastery or something" up the road a bit.

Somewhere between five and six in the morning Joe Germano stops his white jeep on a Somerville street to pick up Louis Sevilitti. They drive in silence to the Essex Delicatessen or a similar all-night restaurant where they know all the "regulars" and where Joe orders a bagel and tea, Louis coffee and an English.

In a series of all-night sessions at the drawing board, he completely redesigned the plane to meet British specifications. At that time he was also working on what would become one of the most celebrated U.S. fighter planes in World War II, the twin-boom P-38 Lightning, which awed Luftwaffe pilots called der Gabelschwanz Teufel (Fork-Tailed Devil). Even before the first Lightning took off, Johnson...
