Thread: P-38 Escort range

  1. #1

    Default P-38 Escort range

    What was the P-38's Escort combat range without any drop tanks?

    Default

    I downloaded the manual for P-38 and it states that:
    - P-38H inner tanks had capacity of 300 gallons.
    - Normal consumption (= no combat or relax) is 115 gl/h.
    - B-17 speed was about 290 ml/h, and so should be the Escort speed.

    That means P-38H escort had fuel for 2h 36 min, or 378 miles radius.
    Does it sound correct?
