Were there any P38 kills of the V1 flying bombs? How fast was the P38 down on the deck? I think it would have done well since it was fast down on the deck, had concentrated armament, long legs for extended patrol times, and most of the historical engine problems should go away if used at lower altitudes. Thoughts?
The book "Diver! Diver! Diver!" lists all V-1 claims, there's none for P-38s. P-47s seem to be the most prolific of the USAAF fighters, with about 15 kills claimed.
Does it say whether it was the P-47M or the P-47D? Neither was in the same class as the Tempest V or P-51 at sea level.
Off topic, but does anyone know if the claim of a B-24 waist gunner shooting down a V-2 on launch has any validity?

With all due respect, this is the most off topic post in the history of this forum!!!!Off topic, but does anyone know if the claim of a B-24 waist gunner shooting down a V-2 on launch has any validity?
