Unless my eyes are playing tricks, this ship has contra-
rotating props installed on the wrong sides: #1 turns left
and #2 turns right, making BOTH engines critical in an
engine-out situation.

No tricks, the P-38 had props the turned away from the fuselage. The left
engine turns clockwise (facing the aircraft), the right engine tunrs
counterclockwise (facing the aricraft).
