The German fighter pilots thought the P-38 was a sitting duck for them, knocking them down with regularity. Heinz Bar in paticular liked the P-38. That is why they were not used in great quanity in the ETO...read Horrido by Trevor and Constable...
In the Pacific it was a different story..the P-38 had range, speed, firepower and was up against a more obslecent fighter plane....Bong and McGuire ran up quiet a few kills using the P-38.
