About the Bell P-39 Airacobra (Fighter Airplane): The Bell P-39 Airacobra was one of the principal American fighter aircraft in service at the start of World War II.  Although its mid-engine placement was innovative, the P-39 design was handicapped by the lack of an efficient turbo-supercharger, limiting it to low-altitude work, although the type was used with great success by the Soviet Air Force.  Together with the derivative P-63 Kingcobra, these aircraft would be the most successful mass-produced, fixed-wing aircraft manufactured by Bell. The Airacobra saw combat throughout the world, particularly in the Southwest Pacific, Mediterranean and Russian theaters.  Because its engine was not equipped with a supercharger, the P-39 performed best below 17,000 feet (5,200 m) altitude.  It often was used at lower altitudes for such missions as ground strafing.  Russian pilots appreciated the cannon-armed P-39 for its ground attack capability.  The P-39Q has the distinction of being the most produced series with 4,905 built.  The Q also was the last version of the Airacobra to be made by Bell.  The main difference between the Q version and earlier versions was the replacement of the 4 wing-mounted 0.30 – inch machine guns with a single 0.50 –inch machine gun mounted inside a pod attached to the bottom of each wing.  The P-39Q-1-BE also regained the additional 231 pounds of armor of the P-31N-1.
