The Bell P-39 Airacobra is one of the more discussed fighters of WW2.   This is in part  because of  its’ many different iterations and that it was one of the first to see actual combat use. There were many changes  from the P-39C to the P-39Q, most of them were actual improvements. 

   Deployment by the USAAF was early in the war,  before we had  learned how to deal with the hard demands of Aerial combat, and before we had many well trained or experienced pilots.  There was only one American pilot who became an ace flying the P-39.  Our early efforts in the Pacific cost us dearly in lives and machines.  Our P-39 units only managed about a 1:1 kill ratio against the Japanese.  P-39’s were replaced as soon as we could manage by P-40, P-38, and P-47 fighters.
