As a boy of 11 or 12 the P-39 Aircobra was my first WWII model I ever built. The old Irondog has always held a special place in my heart.  From what I have read, not so with those that actually flew it. ;)

That's because they were merely all jealous of the P-47 pilots...

And to think the USAA paid about the same price for P-39's back then as we would for a luxury sedan today..around $50,000 each  :O

A little bit OT...
If you want to read some great books written by a real P-39 pilot, go look for 'Nanette' of 'Angels Twenty' by Ted Park.
He flew Airacobras in New Guinea during the war.

Cheers!
