Re: Airacobras in Tunisia
Good point John, incidentally talking of Ratas, they were still considered worthwhile adversaries into the spring of 1942.
Die geheimen Konferenzen des General-Luftzeugmeisters, p. 34 14-04-1942 "Die Rata macht an die front noch erheblichen Ärger. Wenn sie stärkere Motoren bekommt ist sie bestimmt nicht angenehm." Interesting point made on the same page about Airacobras. 1. those from Britain had British instruments and Russian guns and radio. 2. those that came from the US retained all their US equipment. Could possibly illustrate that the difference did not lay in home made improvements, since the Soviets clearly appreciated the original US equipment.
