Re: P-38s in the Aleutians
I don't think that the P-38s in the Aleutians faced the same conditions as the escort P-38s in the ETO. In the Aleutians most operations were at low altitude while in the ETO 8th AF P-38s flew hours at high altitude. One notable thing is that during winter 43/44 the 8th AF had priority to get the new P-38Js and other fronts waited these until spring.
