Whoa, makes perfect sense in every fashion but I had no idea the P38 was used as bomber escort.
From late 1943 you say? Anybody know a typical bomber flight configuration through the 8th's campaign?
Say, B-25's and I dunno, B-17F's in 1942
B-17G's and P51B's in 1943
B-17G's and P38's in late 1943
B-17G's and P51D's in 1944 onwards
???
