<hi style=afpcap>The P-38 was enlarged as a two seat fighter development becoming the XP-58, known as the Chain Lightning. A single prototype was produced in June 1944 with a four gun turret as well as an interchangeable nose which could house one 75mm cannon, or two 20 mm and four 0.50 inch guns. Following evaluation the project was abandoned. </hi>
