Hi there

I don't know if the P-38M strictly counts as a separate version, because they were modified P-38Ls...

Apparently 75 aircraft were taken from the P-38L production line and sent to Dallas, where they were modified into makeshift 2-seater nightfighters. The first P-38M flew on Jan 5th 1945.

Hope this helps

Rowan
