This picture makes the cockpit of the P-39 Space Superiority Fighter appear a bit cramped to the point that the addition of a hard flight helmet would cause ergo trouble, much as the case with early jets.

Some kind of test apparatus. I think the structure below and behind the tail was a spin chute for testing.

I thought it was a wheelie-bar given the difficulty many pilots had taxiing such a high performance platform.

Make sense?

Looks like a drag chute.
