There was one huge problem with the P-39 Airacobra, and that was that there was a door to get into the canopy. 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.
