Can't fault your logic there Wes, I think the only college text that I had that wasn't written by the prof was my Art Appreciation class. Yup, that course has stood me in good stead all these years.Oh ye of suspicious minds! In that case, Chem 1 + 2, Soc 21, and Poli Sci 42 were "money grabs" where I went to school. In fact you felt you were learning straight from the "guy who wrote the book" on the subject.
Thanks for the reading suggestions.
1) I don't know whose posts you're reading, but I don't really appreciate you characterizing my posts this way; you'll struggle in vain to find a single reference I make to Eaker's personal feelings one way or the other.
2) I was approaching this as a discussion, not a "debate."
3) Quite frankly I'm uninterested in "debates", or discussions for that matter, with folks who'd mischaracterize my points so. Carry on.

I'm not in the middle of the discussion but as my tag line suggests... BEER.
Yeah, that's me...Beyond

Spruce buds are out! It's time to brew up a batch of Spruce Flavored Lager. Next month will be just about right for Light Gingered Ale.Yeah, that's me...![]()

The joke is just a joke. It references how the Groundhog shows up in so many threads.
I have nothing but respect for the guys who flew and maintained it.
I don't really care for the airplane itself, nor the accolades it seems to get. I'm aware of its service record and not denigrating that. I just think it is, ahem, overrated -- by some folks.
Sorry my satire rubbed you the wrong way, but in the end, it's only a joke, so don't trip.
The P-39 was an excellent airplane within the altitude range it's single stage Allison allowed, so low to medium. The turbocharger it was supposed to have would have transformed it. The P-38 with the Allison with the turbo was a fully capable sirplane. A bad decision by the AAF. It's that simple.

The AAF had 13 P-37s and a few other experimental turbo powered aircraft that convinced them that the turbo was about a year further out than the single/two speed mechanical supercharged engines for service squadron use.
What,...isn't this the Ancient Geezers' Retirement Home?? Am I in the wrong place? Did I come in the wrong door? That sweet young thing said it was third door on the right! Or was it fourth?? Hmmm...Must have been. Sorry for the bother, chaps. Ta ta! Been real.Only Geezers remember Yowsa and hubba Hubba. Can there be a Zoot Suit Sighting far behind?
BANG! You got me.Only Geezers remember Yowsa and hubba Hubba. Can there be a Zoot Suit Sighting far behind?
At least you (think you) know where it is! Been looking all over for mine. I'm sure I've seen it in the last decade somewhere. But where?BANG! You got me.
Headed for the closet to look for my old Zoot.
Excellent relative to ? A6M, Bf 109F/G, Fw 190A, P-40, P-51, Spitfire V, VIII, IX or I-16 and Buffalo? As noted earlier the XP-39 was AWFUL and program nearly cancelled until NACA made bout a dozen critical cooling and aerodynamic changes to bring it to 'functional'.The P-39 was an excellent airplane within the altitude range it's single stage Allison allowed, so low to medium.
