Re: Performance/Endurance of Bf 109 G-6 during aerial combat - questions for experts!!!
However, the whole idea seems a little unreal. If the P-38s were just passing over, they'd be gone before the 109 unit could be scrambled and climb to altitude. The 109s would then have to travel at greater than optimum range speed in order to catch up. On the other hand, if the P-38s were attacking the base, they'd be at low-level and it would be suicidal for the German unit to attempt to take-off.
