P-39 vs yak 9 who would win
I know you guys hate me referring to mil sims but war thunder has the yak-9 and the p-39n-0 in the same battle rating
you guys shit on the p-39 so much so I'm confused?
Overall which plane is better in real life yak-9 or p-39?
maybe add the la-5 to the mix
Hey everyone,
I am doing a school project and
I chose the P-39 to be on of the planes in my book. But I have a question, did the engine behind the pilot cause any problems?
Thanks ahead of time.
I am looking for information about two P-39 Q that were lost in Switzerland short after WWII has ended. These two Airacobras were flying along the river Rhein on a low level flight on 16. July 1945 (cloudy, bad weather) from (probably) Basel towards the lake of Constance. Near Eglisau they...
In the thread about a turbocharged P-36 there was some discussion about improvements to the P-39 - mainly armament and some suggestions about the engine.
For armament it was thought that the M4 cannon could be replaced with a 20mm cannon or 0.50" HMG firing through the hub with 2 x 0.50"...
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?
Just found out that a P-39 is on its way down here for restoration:

Sorry about the error in the title: It should say P-39!
I found this s picture when researching the U.S.Army in the North African Campaign. It was listed as a P-38 wreck but I think it is a P-39 Airacobra. I wondered if it is a Spitfire wreck but I'm leaning towards a P-39.
It doesn't look...

In, 1938 the U.S. Navy placed a contract with the Bell Aircraft for a navalized version of the P-39 fighter. Changes included a tailwheel undercarriage, installation of an arrestor hook, enlarged vertical surfaces and restressing for carrier operations. The Navy lost interest in the project and...

I have seen some vague references to P-40 Warhawks using 4.5 inch rockets in Africa and Burma. I have also heard that P39s were using rockets by the time of TORCH. I know Russian P39s had rockets by this time.
While completely different: Does anyone know when the US 90mm AA gun was first...
