Overview
With a midengined configuration, sturdy tricycle landing gear, and
nose-mounted 37 mm cannon, the Bell P-39 was a thoughtful and innovative
design. However, the plane lacked the all-out performance of some other
key fighters available to Allied fliers (e.g., Spitfire, Hellcat,
Mustang), particularly at altitude. Largely rejected by British and
American combat squadrons, the Airacobra was much better received in the
Soviet Union, where the Red Air Force successfully deployed large
quantities of the type against the Luftwaffe. This new entry in the
Legends of Warfare series features detailed photographic coverage of all
variants of the Airacobra, including prototypes, trainer versions,
production models C through Q, and the P-400.
