If these P-38's were the later P-38L's with the dive flaps ailerons it would be no contest. However, in the video posted the compression issues in a dive were so bad that at 300 mph in a 15 degree dive one could lose control it was claimed.
P-47 could dive like crazy, P-38 could climb like crazy. It would be an interesting match up.
