Its P-38 Lightning, the only U.S. fighter in continuous service throughout World War II, was dubbed by Luftwaffe pilots "der gabel-schwanz Teufel"-"the fork-tailed devil." Making Hudsons for the British before the U.S. entered World War II, Lockheed ran into the U.S. Neutrality Act, which forbade either U.S. or British citizens to ship or fly the planes from the U.S. to Britain.
