I've heard from my resources that one p-38 could take down several of German planes in one sitting. Just think how much damage a fleet of p-38 Lightning could cause. As I've talked about there was an invasion of Japan and other bordering territories after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, HI. The invasion was called The Pacific Theater. A fleet of p-38's invaded Japan and camps such as Iijima to rescue Prisoners of War. {POW's}. They destroyed everything in there path. Another place where p-38's stoked the most was the battle of D-Day in France. One pilot alone who was an ace at the end of the day had a total of forty kills alone! and the fleet had about 4 members. If you do the math that's about 160 kills in one day.
