Also ack ack if u look it was late in the war on your post, the germans had lost alot of thier vets by then who's to say who was in the enemy aircraft!
And who was to say what level of pilot skill were in the US aircraft at the time? In the pilot reports I posted, those pilots were trained to fly the P-47 and just prior to the D-Day landings transitioned to the P-38, with only a couple of months of training in the Lightning, and most that flew the P-38 didn't receive proper training in 2 engine aircraft before being shipped off the combat zone. The reports refute your claim about the P-38s maneuverability at lower altitudes.
Spin it however you like, it doesn't take away the fact you were incorrect about the P-38's maneuverability.
ack-ack
