- In the Android version of Strikers 1945, this aircraft is always available at all times.

- In Strikers 1945 World War, the P-38 Lightning is also the player's starting aircraft.
- In Strikers 1945 Collection, the Strikers 1945 I version of the P-38 Lightning, with a rarity level of R, is the player's starter aircraft.
- There also exists the Strikers 1945 II version of the aircraft, with a rarity level of A, which can be unlocked by completing its Character Puzzle and buying it or opening a Common Random Chest.
- Besides Strikers 1945 I, II and Plus, the P-38 was also the main plane in Capcom's 1940 series, especially in 1943: The Battle of Midway.
