You made the claim that the P-38 was not maneuverable at low altitudes and the AAR reports I posted refute that claim.  Don't try and change the argument when I showed you to be incorrect.

Trust me, there is nothing you can tell me about the P-38 that I already don't know.  However, I can tell you plenty about the P-38 that you don't know.

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.

Me and Skiman collided twice in a row last night. Neither one of us meant to do it bit we were bound and determined to pull the tightest turn  :lol The 1st time kind of pissed us off, but the 2nd one made me realize it was just the heat of the fight and poop happens. We kind of laughed it off.

But I've seen Ghi many many times fly a IL2 on the deck and pull straight up into guys.  :furious
