We really didn't need so many different types in production throughout the war. The P-38 was far more expensive and manpower intensive to produce than the other types. The resistance to drop tanks was ridiculous as was the initial resistance to fighter escort of bombers.

As much as the US procurement/production process had issues, it was far more flexible and efficient than that of our enemies.
