Historical Background of the P-39 Airacobra Aircraft

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was a single-engine American fighter used mainly during World War II. This aircraft was operated by the USAAF as well as Allied forces, including the USSR, where it was particularly popular on the Eastern Fronts. The P-39 Airacobra was innovative—the engine was located behind the pilot’s cockpit, improving maneuverability. It was also widely used during battles over New Guinea and by the Soviet Union in air combats over Stalingrad.
