1/48 Vacu Canopy P-39 Airacobra - 2 pcs. (EDU)The Bell P-39 Airacobra was a single-engine, low-wing monoplane fighter aircraft developed by the U.S. Bell Aircraft Corporation in the second half of the 1930s. It was the first fighter aircraft in the world to have tricycle undercarriage and the first to have the engine installed in the center of the fuselage, behind the pilot's back.Produced in just over 9,500 examples, it is remembered, however, for being one of the most controversial combat aircraft employed by the U.S. during World War II. Conditioned by the inadequate performance of its thruster at high altitudes, in the European and Pacific theaters it found itself outclassed in the interceptor role and was gradually relegated to secondary duties.Rejected by the British RAF after only one combat mission, it was, on the contrary, particularly appreciated in the ranks of the Voenno-vozdušnye sily, the air force of the Soviet Union, which received almost half of the production, thanks to the "Rent and Loan Law," and employed it, mainly at low altitudes, both in ground attack actions and as a pure fighter and interceptor of enemy bombers and fighter-bombers. And it was a Soviet Airacobra that was the last plane shot down by the Luftwaffe and achieved the last air victory of World War II in Europe.In the course of the conflict, some examples were assigned to the air forces of other Allied countries (Australia and France) and to the Kingdom of Italy as a co-belligerent country after the events of September 8, 1943.
