Hampered by unreliabilty and poor engine performance at high altitude, the P-39 nevertheless served alongside the P-40 and P-38 in the bitter struggle to capture Guadalcanal in 1942/43, as well as seeing much action over the jungles of New Guinea. Around a dozen AAF aces scored five kills with the P-39, although this total was far outstripped by the Soviet Red Air Force, whose pilots rated the Airacobra as one of the best lend-lease fighters of the war.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 7mmItem Weight: 344gAuthor: John Stanaway, George MellingerIllustrator: Jim LaurierContributor: Jim Laurier (Illustrated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Military History, Law & PoliticsBook Series: Aircraft of the AcesRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
