    one of the interesting things about the Army air corps back then was the aircraft doctrine (insisted by the US Navy ironically) P-38's were designed as interceptors to knock out any fighter screens whilst P-39's were made as "bomber killers". P-40's and others were supposed to be used as "patrol fighters" (similar to WWI)

    Ironically the Luftwaffe and the IJN changed all that doctrine....
