Just remember, whatever the Mossie could do, so could the P-38, snicker. The Mossie was the second non heavy to be over Berlin, the P-38 was the first. Seems the Bombers that the P-38 was supposed to escort on a daylight bombing run decided to turn back and no one told the P-38s that so they went in anyway and made it home. Can you imagine the surprise attached to that one for both sides? The Mossies did it on purpose at night.
The things a British Cabinet Maker can do with a block of wood and a paring knife. I guess no one told him he couldn't do it.
The European campaign got all the glory but early in 1942 the venerable P-38 Lockheed Lightning fighter bombers in the Pacific didn't have the luxury of well manicured airfields and pubs for pilots. While the U.S. barely had a toehold on Guadalcanal, Army intelligence decoded a Japanese message that gave Halsey a shot at his nemesis Yamamoto. There wasn't a chance in a million that they could intercept a dot six hundred miles away at a specified time but P-38's equipped with aux. fuel tanks were the only planes that could make the distance and have a reasonable chance of surviving. Japanese naval strategist Admiral Yamamoto and his staff were killed and it and may have changed the course of the Pacific war. The Japanese didn't seem to have the same confidence after Yamamoto and the Battle of the Coral Sea showed it.

It didn't have much of a bomb load. It didn't have much of a range. But it was tougher than nails and could and did take a pounding better than any other bomber.
