Re: Bell P-39 top ten ace list

Good morning Gentlemen,

I just finished reading "Reprise de la lutte sur P-39" by David Méchin. I did not know before that this excellent WW1 aviation expert has written WW2 articles, too. I learned that the French scored a few kills while protecting Mediterranean convois from bases in North Africa.

It seems to me like the P-39 scored on at least four continents:
  • Europe: Grigorii Rechkalov (Ukraine)
  • Africa: Hugh Dow (Tunisia)
  • Asia: ?
  • Australia & Oceania: William McDonough (Papua New Guinea)
  • America: Arthur Rice (Aleutians)
Can anybody tell me the name of a pilot who scored over the continent of Asia in a P-39 ?

Cheers,

Michael
