Historical Information and Usage

The P-39Q Airacobra is a single-seat fighter aircraft produced by Bell Aircraft, used mainly by the United States Air Force, but also delivered in large numbers to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease program during World War II. The Q variant, the most extensively produced version of the Airacobra, featured heavier armament in the form of two cannons and four machine guns. The aircraft was used in numerous operations on the Eastern Front, in the Pacific, and during the defense of Alaska and Southern Europe between 1943-1945.
