The Ruskies loved the Air Cobra and its nose cannon.
The cannon worked as a can opener on nazi tanks.

Old age comes at an inconventient time


My father who flew P-47D's & P-38 J&L's in the SW Pacific swears that
the P-39 was an AAF plot to kill as many Russians as they could. While
they did some good service for the Russians, and in 1942 in Guadalcanal
he thought they were best used as flying pinball machines and target
tugs.
