Description "P-39 Airacobra In Action", is a Book from Squadron/Signal Publications. Facts The Bell P-39 Airacobra, and its descendant the P-63 Kingcobra, represent perhaps the first application of "weapons system" thinking to aircraft design. The P-39, or the Bell Model 3 from which it drived, was only the second design to emerge from the new Bell Aircraft Corp. Robert J. Woods, Bell's chief designer, and his assistant Harland M. Poyer, saw a demonstation of a 37mm Oldsmobile cannon in 1935. Impressed by the power that this weapon represented, the pair decided to design an interceptor around the new cannon, the essence of a "weapons system". Features Includes information on all aspects of the P-39 Airacobra aircraft. Includes One "P-39 Airacobra In Action", Book - 50 Pages - 11" x 8.25 Related Items |
