Navalized P-38 Lightning?

Also, P-47s and other "ground-based" aircraft were ferried to war zones
and
then launched from carriers. I have a great photo of a herd of P-47s
preparing
for such a launch. Also, US operated Hurricanes off carriers, I think
during
Torch...? I saw a photo of a US-marked Hurri on a beach in NA, getting
manhandled into position for a takeoff attempt after it was forced down in
the
middle of the US invasion troops.


US carriers launched RAF and Hurricanes on Malta resupply missions
and IRC at least one managed to land on without the benefit of
arrester gear after his aircraft developed a problem.
