P-38 Lightning was powerful and fast.

Huge powerful Twin Engines

4 50-caliber machine guns

20mm cannon

Extremely fast and maneuverable.

(Father of one of my high school friends flew one in WWII)

This thing would last about 8 seconds against a P-38.

The P-38 wasn’t a twin-tail design. It was a split-fuselage (or twin-boom) airframe. Subtle difference.
