it seems that opinions on P-39 were mixed, were they users' or opponents'. Lipfert seemed to think that P-39 was a good fighter, almost as good as Bf 109 and at least in the summer 1943 probably/presumably/maybe (depending how one translate the Finnish word kai) the best fighter used by Russians. At least according the Finnish translation of his memories.
