Can't think about anything than wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-39_Airacobra

It's always a good place where to start. Check the links there, too, and you'll have an idea of the plane. Just remember that wiki it's not the Bible.

Thanks I couldnt find it on Wikki:aok

Looks like it could be a great addition down low as ground atack/fighter.

Went and vistied the Air Museum at March Field in Riverside, CA this past weekend. (it's now March ARB) They have a 39Q suspended above a P-59 inside the hangar. It's a good lookin bird, that's for sure! They also have a completely restored P-38J, B-17G, PBM, as well as a Superfort there. Under restoration are also a C-47 and AD-1. Lots of more modern birds there as well, including the cut-away of the B-47 used in the filming of "Strategic Air Command" starring Jimmy Stewart. If your in the area, go visit!

Will get the pics of the 39Q posted soon.
