    In the Which aircraft would you cancel? thread there was some support of the P-39. So why was the P-39 so favored in USSR, yet the P-40 so favored by the US, Britain, etc?

    The original of this my very first aviation has been sold. I tried to get the feel of what it was like to be in the situation suggested by the title. The unusual shape of the canvas really added somehting.
