Historical Overview

The Curtiss P-400 Airacobra is an American fighter aircraft derived from the Bell P-39 family. The P-400 model was an export version originally intended for Great Britain, but many aircraft ultimately served in the USA and the Soviet Union as part of Lend-Lease aid. This aircraft saw extensive use in operations in the Pacific and in Soviet squadrons on the Eastern Front. It was in service from 1941–1945, earning recognition thanks to its unusual engine layout mounted behind the cockpit and its considerable firepower. The Airacobra was especially notable in battles over New Guinea and Guadalcanal, as well as in aerial combat over the Soviet Union.
