The Eighth Air Force continued to conduct reconnaissance missions using the F-5 variant.The P-38 was used most extensively and successfully in the Pacific theater, where it proved more suited, combining exceptional range with the reliability of two engines for long missions over water. The Airacobra's low-altitude performance was good and its firepower was impressive; regardless, it soon became a joke in the Pacific Theatre that a P-400 was a P-40 with a Zero on its tail.The most successful and numerous use of the P-39 was by the Soviet pilots appreciated the cannon-armed P-39 primarily for its air-to-air capability. paper -- but it didn't get off the drawing boards.
