Do you think that the P-39 ever scored an aerial kill over the continent of Asia ?
(A kill over the Phillipines would suffice for my statistics.)

Have a nice evening,

Yes, I have considered the AVG claims; that might explain the differences to USAF85, but not to AAF Statistical digest, but I agree, this deserves a different thread. One day I may even get around to starting it

However, in regards to your statitistics, the list you linked to is just one source, and another, Ray Wagner's American Combat Aircraft grants the P-39 14 victories in ht ETO/ MTO, half the 27.5 in your list.
