Not to mention the duration of it's service.  There is a reason they retired it after only 3 years.

Three years is actually pretty good for that few airframes during wartime.  Also, it was canceled due to the engines being problematic, not due to a flaw with the aircraft.

Is this UCWCOMASF refering to the P-39, the AR-234, or the M.205?
