The P-39, THE best fighter of WWII! 🎖

I read it here, so it must be true.

How does it perform at altitude?

 

[Sisu]

So what is the proper color for P-39 wheel wells??

Clear lacquer. I have a colour pic here somewhere...

Maybe it's Vantablack a class of super-black coatings with total hemispherical reflectances (THR) below 1% in the visible spectrum. The name is a portmanteau of the acronym VANTA (vertically aligned nanotube arrays) and black.

I haven't seen one of those in decades.

I have a P38, P51 and one that has a spoon on the end (which I believe may be Australian?).

 

[A4K]

I carry one every day on my key chain

Never before or since, has there been a more graceful aircraft!
Maybe the F4 Wildcat!
