Re: Placing the Bell P39 Aircobra.
I do not know what Churchill tank has to Airacobra, but there is no doubt that licence production was not possible in the UK for technical reasons. The aircraft is overestimated and Soviet data clearly show it was no surgical hit and run aircraft. Apart of that one must have in mind that British industry was not that very modern and it was not capable to build aircraft in demanded quantities, so RAF relied on large part on US deliveries.
