Assuming is the easy part. Was it not there?

P38's were mainly relegated to operations over Formosa, Borneo, Tarakan Island and French Indochina during the Okinawa time frame.
Here are a couple of useful sites for USAAF operations during World War II.

My bad, sorry. As you were.

There would be no harm in a slightly modified Okinawa that had the P-38 included. I have no strong opinion on it either way, setup looks fine to me.

P-38 v. Nik is a pretty good fight, as that one setup proved. Gives the guys who don't fly from carriers an option.

Looks like a winner. I'm actually glad to get rid of this last map. This past week had to be my all time worst LW week in the CT ever. Kinda looking forward to flying something manuverable and dodging those fast incoming BLUE streaks.
