And here is the other two seat P-39 concept. A night fighter version. Look where they were going to put the radar operator. Barf city, if you ask me!

March 5, 1945) These ice formations on the propeller and fuselage surfaces of a test unit installed in the Icing Research Tunnel at the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, Cleveland, Ohio, now known as John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field, show what may happen to an airplane in flight under certain atmospheric conditions. Ice degrades the performance of an aircraft in flight and can cause loss of control.

This was the "short wing" version of the Airacobra. It was said that aileron forces were inadequate.

Bell P-39 modified with a 350 gallon belly tank. In September 1942, test pilot Jack Woolams became the first person to fly a fighter aircraft coast to coast over the United States without stopping. There was also additional fuel tanks in the nose section.

Thank God that didn't make it into production. Barely worse than the XP-39.

Interesting. The last four photos are also on this site...P-39 Airacobras of the 35th Fighter Squadron

Imho these are pictures not made by an amateur. If have seen countless pictures but the american amateurs ones are mostly not very good. The professional ones are almost always of very high quality. So perhaps these were made and bundled in sets and sent i.g. newspapers.

Web site says they belonged to Major James Olin Brewer, pilot of the 35th, donated by his son. Maybe they were press photos and he got copies
