Same punch as a Mustang at twice the price and twice as many things to go wrong. :)

Ask Admiral Yamamoto what he thinks of the P-38. The P-38s reached him and swatted him out of the sky, when nothing else we had available could do it. They didn't just shoot him down. They put two fifty-cal rounds in him.

The P-38 was kicking ass long before the Mustang got into the fight.

Why the F-16 or F-15 we’re not named the Mustang is beyond me

Hell, there were still P-51 Mustangs in service in some countries, when those two fighters entered service. :crylikeender: Maybe they thought it would be confusing.

 

OK. Not quite, but close. They served in some small nations' militaries even into the early seventies.
