I'm not sure exactly how far it was. But I think it demonstrates just how incredibly versatile the P-38 was.

B-24 Driver said:Nice to see that some recognized the B--24. Most couldn't see past the B-17. Those guys called us the box the B-17 came in. But we were faster, flew farther, and hauled more. Also there were over 18,000 24s and only 12,000 17s. A well known air writer who had flown something like 175 planes named the 24 as one of the worst planes he ever flew. We didn't know that at the time though. B-29 sure was something after we got back stateside.
My favorite fighter was the Jug - P47, the first one to be able to go all the way with us. Although the pretty prize would go to the P38.
The nastiest one to look at from in front was the Bf109.

See you are from Colorado - Was in and out of both fields at Denver. A fun liberty town.

In areas were there was few front line fighters or old outdated fighters, it performed very well as a fighter. Like in Poland, Norway and the low countries. It was a very good platform for a night fighter since it had twin engines and could carry the very heavy radar systems at the time. Also, it was an outstanding ground attack aircraft. I think it proved that in Russia and North Africa. If you can think of anything else that it did please add.
