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.
