Description Bureau of Aeronautics 18 June 1943:\n\n*****\n\nRecord of:\n\nMAJOR JOHN W. MITCHELL, USAAF\nand\nCAPTAIN THOMAS G. LANPHIER, USAAF\nP-38 Pilots - Guadalcanal\n\n\nOne day about thirty Zero's came over the field. Fifteen Grummans, a few P-40's and six P-38's were up. The P-40's saw the Zeros come in and went after them; the Grummans didn't see the fight for about five minutes. \n\nThe Zeros, up around 20,000 feet, had pulled us off to the side; and while we were fighting them, the Jap bombers sneaked in at about 500 feet and dropped their bombs, doing little materiel damage but killing a few men. \n\nThe Grummans went after the bombers and left us six P-38's to fight the thirty Zeros, and we shot down seven. We lost two men.\n\n*****\n\nThe P-38's never tried to tangle with the Japs at any altitude. We'd follow them from 30,000 feet to sea level, but never tried to fight them; couldn't possibly do it at any altitude, regardless of whether we used our flaps or not. (Those new flaps, incidentally, are a great help in turning). We can outrun the Zeros straight and level at any altitude, from sea level up.\n\n\n
