The Bell P-39 Airacobra was an American fighter aircraft used in World War II.
Its reviews are very contradictory - in the US and British Air Forces it had a very bad reputation, while Soviet pilots rated it as excellent.
It was a machine with a very unusual and interesting concept.
The engine was located directly behind the cockpit, near the center of gravity of the machine, at the same time the propeller in the nose of the aircraft was driven by a long connecting shaft that passed under the pilot.
The tube armament could thus be concentrated in the "empty" nose.
