Jim,

It was quick, but not enough to hang with the big boys. The P-38 had Allison 1710 engines which died at altitude above 12 thousand feet. There was variants that had Merlins which would be better suited but the plane is big and not as nimble as a Bearcat, spitz or Mustang...This is just my opinion. State your case if you think it should be there and why. Again it would play a better roll as a attack/escort/Pacific against the Japanese aircraft.

My .02 cents
