INdeed the kill rate for the P-38 was impressive, especially in the Pacific.
Still I think people tend to forget one of the best: The Corsair. Very flexible, and almost indestructible as well.
Also the allies middle weight bombers were not never matched be the Axis.
Mitchell
Marauder
Mosquito (if you can call it a middle weight)
There are others too....All far more potent than the axis equivalents.
