Good article about why the P-38 flunked in Europe.
Thanks. A person reading my posts 67 and 75 might reasonably think I had previously read the article you posted the link to but I had not. I agree the P-38 was too complicated for the average trained pilot of 1943 who would go on to join entirely new squadrons of similarly trained pilots and ground crews in Europe.
