Although it could not outperform the A6M Zero at speeds below 200 mph, its speed and rate of climb allowed it to perform multiple high-speed flybys in combat, and the armor of Japanese aircraft was more vulnerable than that of German aircraft to the close-quarters gun groups of the P-38.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIt was P-38s that participated in the interceptor mission that cost Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor, his life. In this mission, 16 P-38G Lightnings encountered two G4M \"Betty\" transports and six escorting Zeros. Both transports were lost, as were two Zeros that lost a P-38.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Contents:\u003cbr\u003e - 6 x Warlord Resin P-38 Lightning aircraft\u003cbr\u003e - 6 x Advantage Flight Bases\u003cbr\u003e - 1 x Punchboard with game tokens\u003cbr\u003e - 1 x aircraft map (P-38J Lightning)\u003cbr\u003e - 1 x Doctrine Card (Sustained Dive)\u003cbr\u003e - 7 x aircraft trait cards (3 x Heavy Hitter, 3 x Great Dive, 1 x Agile)\u003cbr\u003e - 1 x sheet with aircraft markings on waterslide decal paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Models are delivered unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48023221207210,"sku":"123403","price":24.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3432\/6698\/files\/123403-p-38-lightning-squadron-772412009-1.webp?v=1783201477","url":"https:\/\/tabletop-depot.de\/en\/products\/p-38-lightning-squadron","provider":"Tabletop Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
