In the European theatre the P-38 is noted for reliability problems at high altitude.
In the Pacific theatre the P-38 is noted for it's long range/endurance (and 2-engine reliability.)
I am interested in learning if the P-38 was tasked with high altitude missions in the Pacific theatre, for missions at altitudes where the P-39 and P-40 performance were not acceptable.
