Airacobra, and that was that there was a door to get into the canopy.
When the plane was in flight, the air pressure on the door was so great
that a pilot could not open the door to jump out if he need to. A
huge design error. Also, the Airacobra had a mid engine and it
didn't handle properly, as reported by many pilots. |

Fighter
Stokes. The Bell P-39 Airacobra is no doubt the forgotten American-built
fighter of WWII. Built in large numbers, most of the aircraft were exported,
with many finding their way to the Red Army. The second highest scoring
Soviet ace of the war, Alexander Pokryshkin shown here, flew the P-39 for
48 of his 59 victories. 16"x 11½" limited edition aviation art print.

Airacobra
Tony Weddel. A P-400 (the export version of the P-39 Airacobra) does what it does
best: flying down on the deck pounding Japanese ground positions. This
P-400 was originally destined for the RAF in the Pacific, but like
the others it became part of the 67th Fighter Squadron based at Guadalcanal
in 1942. Though it still wears British camouflage, its newly added
sharkmouth and American insignia make it clear what unit is dealing
out the punishment. 23"x 19" aviation art print. .....#0008502 $19.95
