When the plane was in flight, the air pressure on the door was so great that a pilot could not open the door to jump out if he need to. A huge design error. Also, the Airacobra had a mid engine and it didn't handle properly, as reported by many pilots. There are many versions of this plane, these specs cover only one version.

Soviet ace of the war, Alexander Pokryshkin shown here, flew the P-39 for
48 of his 59 victories. 16"x 11½" limited edition print.

A P-400 (the export version of the P-39 Airacobra) does what it does
best: flying down on the deck pounding Japanese ground positions. This
P-400 was originally destined for the RAF in the Pacific, but like
the others it became part of the 67th Fighter Squadron based at Guadalcanal
in 1942. Though it still wears British camouflage, its newly added
sharkmouth and American insignia make it clear what unit is dealing
out the punishment. 23"x 19" print. .....#0008502 $19.95
