Its an observation of their woeful performance and cost in aircrew, both of which were recognized at the time and often since. Regards Paul |

Dave: 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. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Also seem to remember Finland flew Buffalos and gave the Russians a decent shellacking. Not sure if the Buffalos played any part in that, however... |
