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. More Information thanks to Roy Seher, There are many versions of this plane, these specs cover only one version.

Forgotten
Fighter
Aviation Art Stan Stokes. The Bell P-39 Airacobra is no doubt the forgotten American-built fighter of WWII. Built in large numbers, most of the aircraft were exported, with many finding their way to the Red Army. The second highest scoring Soviet ace of the war, Alexander Pokryshkin shown here, flew the P-39 for 48 of his 59 victories. 16"x 11½" limited edition print. .....#0007421 |

Hello Jeff, Just want to correct a misconception. You have a description of the P-39 and state that the slip stream pressure on the doors of the P-39 made it impossible for the pilot to open them and bail out. The design was called an oversight or design mistake. Not true! Just want you to know that there was a red emergency handle (or lever) on each side of the cockpit fastened above and in line with the door hinges. When the red lever was pulled down the door hinge pins were extracted and then the slip stream easily whipped the door away. With either door gone the pilot need only roll out onto the wing and be swept away -- under the tail (horizontal elevator). With a door gone it was probably the easiest of all fighters to bail from. Certainly far safer than bailing from the highly prized P-51. |
